    Free floppy drive- 1998 flash back awesome!



    I have like 12 and about 4 ribbon cables. I bought some old boxes to build a multimedia box and majour PRON storage.

    I've never had a floppy drive go bad. So i'm not testing them. Maybe you have a retro build, maybe you still have boot disks. I haven't used a floppy in 10 years and don't plan to do so. Going in the garbage tuesday or wendsay.

    Pay shipping, keep plastic/metal crap out of landfills.

    lol at zomg floppy
    I live my life a quarter pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, I'm free. I need FRIES! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and I need them tonight. You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.

                  out of curiosity I dug through my old computer shi-. And my OG kings quest game on 3.5in floppy does.........not work. And I only installed it one time IIRC so I'm going to say that yes you have worthless plastic scrap in storage


                  also 1 drive down, 4 in the trash. 3 or 4 left. Get them while the getting is well getting if you get my get. Get it?
