  • Hi…wondering when the next fair is…also wondering if you have any contacts in these 2 areas:
    a) 3″ (AMSoft) CF2DD disks/drives
    b) 5.25″ floppy disk drives
    I am looking to locate one/both of these, for data recovery project(s).
    Thanks!

    • Hi Jim, I’m catching up on old messages. Not sure if this is still relevant to you. I have some 5.25″ floppy drives available. $120 tested for 1.2MB/360KB drives. You’ll do better on eBay for untested drives.

  • Hello

    Im very interested in the super 80 V2 project you guys are working on,can i buy any of the bits as yet?

    • Hi Wayne, thanks for your interest in the Super 80 V2 reproduction PCB. I will try to get this finalised in the next few weeks. There’s very little left to be done, except making sure that the keyboard parts (which are yet to be fabricated) will work with the V2 PCB. Have you joined the Super 80 group on groups.io?

  • Hi Malcolm

    Yes i have joined,i would need the PCB/keyboard and any other parts that I can buy from you maybe the basic ROM? and any other parts to help make this super 80,i believe i will need to burn my own Basic ROM what im reading,BTW i was working for Altronics when this came out,I had a Microbee .

    • The PCBs will we available in the not-too-distant future. We’re also working on getting keyboard kits manufactured. I’d like to say they will arrive in the next couple of months, but I can’t be certain. Status updates will always be announced on the groups.io list. ROM files can be downloaded, or I’m sure you can ask a favour (from me or lots of other people) to get them burned. Other parts will need to be sourced from local suppliers, futurlec, digikey, ebay, etc.
