Old 5.25 Disk Drive wanted - Working or not

Lol, I used to have two 5.25 discs in a custom box for my BBC32k.

My mum gave it all away to a friend of theirs after I left home.

Shame really, would be awesome if I still had it.

I have a 128k B+ and a Master somewhere, along with a cummana double disc drive, Sanyo tape deck and Cub monitor (assuming someone hasn't thrown them away...).

Citadel, original wire frame Elite and Chuckie Egg

Not had any joy man, sorry. Oldest I've found so far is an IBM PS/2 (286) but it had a 3.5" job

Nah, Not yet. I've bought a cheap 3.5" one for now and i'll just make a larger surround so it fits in the console and covers the screws until i can get hold of one.

I was off playing them for years, but bought a PS3 18 months ago and have to say I find the likes of GT5/6 and Call of Duty are astonishing/brilliant (WHEN you get good enough to play the latter online - those kids are committed!). I think there are a lot of quite original games coming out from the indie developers too these days.

Not sure why I'm writing about originality after initially suggesting excitement at, what, essentially the 4th version of the same game which goes back 30 years
