- There are several places in the back of magazines like Computer Shopper
- where you can buy drives. I paid $99/ 800K replacement and even got a place
- down to $89 when I bought six at once.
-
- Also; I recall someone posting how to alter a PC sony 3 1/2" drive
- so that it could be used with a mac. Something to do with shorting
- or removing a pin. Anybody remember? THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!
