Muzz73 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Dig the crazy, home made floppy drive someone gave me the other day! It's in a wooden case! I'm totally going to hook it up this weekend and see what it does! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tschak909 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 That's a B&C 810, using the Tandon mechanism variant boards. Basically, Bruce came across a massive warehouse full of Atari parts sometime in the late 1980s, in this pile of parts, was enough replacement parts to rebuild all of the electronics of an Atari 810 disk, sans the case. So over the next few years, they built on demand a number of these units into any casing they could cram together. Why would one buy these? Well, from what I remember, they were easily $50 cheaper than the Atari 810. -Thom 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz73 Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 Very cool! I'm going to daisy chain it off the back of my 1050 and see if it works. Thanks for the info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
