[WTB] [UK] Cheap Black Floppy Drive

KieranD · Aug 13, 2008, 04:29 PM

I want a cheap black floppy, has to be black to match the case.
No cables as ill just take them from an old broken motherboard i have.

Its for a linux box.

I saw ones with card readers but they looked dear im not paying £20 for a floppy/card reader.

Not looking to spend more than £4, I will pay shipping itll prolly be like £1 anyway.

Pay Pal only im afraid, i dont like doing bank transfers ect pay pal is safe for me.

no ebay links, I'd remove it before a mod sees.

And to the OP, my dad has a spare black one. will ask him when he finishes work if he is willing to part with it.

ghost101 · Aug 14, 2008, 12:11 AM

Im very sorry but I think I threw it away along with a couple of DVD drives last year. Cant find it anywhere.

francis511 · Aug 14, 2008, 12:18 AM

Damn , just buy one. They`re like £5

KieranD · Aug 14, 2008, 01:10 AM

thats why i want one i wanted to buy one from TPU, i never buy from the computer hardware shops in the city centre they are shit

mlee49 · Aug 14, 2008, 01:12 AM

May I ask why?

I just bought an external floppy to install some old floppy games(Decent, Original Wolfensiten, Doom I & II). Cost me like $15 USD, but the nostalgic memories will be well worth it.

KieranD · Aug 14, 2008, 03:38 AM

i could get a usb floppy drive, its more for the old disks i have and flashing, i guess having a usb floppy drive would be handy as i could just use it for any pc in my house

thought it would be better to have internal since my mobo has only 2 usb ports and i might need them one for mouse one for wireless adapter although then i could get a pci wireless card
