bandit Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I bought this drive back in 1989, I have worn out 2 of the Atari SF 314's Just used my Last NOS Mech. Anyway I figured this GT has been great , but I think it's getting old Even though it still works good. I looked to buy a USED one, and I can find almost no Info or selling. I bought an INDUS for my Atari 800 mid 80's and it is still working. I can find the 8-bit for sale no problem But the 3 1/2 is not around . If these are hard to come by, that would be a bummer. Am I just to old to search anymore LOL!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari8guy Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 (edited) I bought one of these a few years ago (less than 5) off ebay, it was reasonable in price and it works great. Edited June 1, 2023 by Atari8guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got lucky enough to find one through Bravo Sierra awhile back. He kept hesitating because he couldn't get it tested but I kept telling him that I didn't care if it even worked or not, I just wanted the thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I managed to pick up three over the years. Two to use on a system as A/B and one mostly for a housing for a Gotek. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
