     The FC5025 5.25" USB floppy controller is now available. Device Side Data's FC5025 USB 5.25" floppy controller plugs into a USB port and enables you to attach a 5.25" floppy drive. With the FC5025 and its included software, you can read Apple, Atari, Commodore, MS-DOS, North Star, and TI disks.
     For more information and to order, see the web site:

           http://www.deviceside.com

Before ordering, please note the limitations described on the website. In particular, the FC5025 is read-only; it can read floppies, but it can't
write to them.

Seems that this device needs a specific 5 1/4" drive, a TEAC mechanism to be specific.  Another user is looking for such a mech, and I will dig into storage today to see if I have such an item for him.

     Aw, I couldn't find the mechs in storage.  I know that they are there; it's just that they are buried.

               But I found other C= goods,

Specifically, those goods were 2 MIDI interfaces, one 4-gig hard drive, and a VIC-20 with a few missing keys.
