Floppy drive frequency.........

2007-05-16 by horiprod

Hi Guys.

Only the very early full width (approx 12cm) drives used the mains 
frequency to determine disk rotation speed. These drives look very 
different from all others. The CMI on this sites home page has the big 
ugly old drives, whereas all newer drives are half width (approx 6cm), 
and black, not beige (although there is a beige sheetmetal surround). 

By the way, are you the same Andy Ledbetter that worked in Argents 
keyboard store in Soho in the 1980s ?????
