- Does anyone have any experience with either the TEAC or CANON combined
- 5.25"/3.5" half height dual floppy drive?
-
- Does it work well?
- Is it worth the $145 I've seen it for?
- Any vendors have it for less?
- Do both drives use the same motor? or are there 2 separate motors?
- Can on simultaneously copy from the 3.5" to the 5.25" and vice versa?
-
- Thanks in advance.
-
- For the $145 I can easily get a new, vertical case and power supply.
- In my present case I only have 3 5.25" half height slots. Is the dual floppy
- worth the money?
