* Yet Another Post About Floppies

Howdy y'all!

...So I have a beloved S1100 whose floppy drive has just passed away.
I have searched the web and this forum for information on sourcing a
replacement drive, and confess I have not yet been successful. I've
had no success finding our jumper-endowed Teac in my travels at local
gear-wreckers. So I'm faced with a couple of prospects: 1) buy an
S1000 off eBay for parts 2) give up and go get an S5000.

If anyone here has a URL (or, heck, a phone number!) handy that will
allow me to purchase one of these drives, it would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks!

Dear Gazebocorp,

Look at shopteac.com if you're in the US - otherwise look in google.
If you are in Europe: some german resellers have them in stock. First
verify with them if this exactly the same model as you are looking for.

regards,

Frank
