The days where 3.5 inch floppy drives were easily available ended some years ago (at least here in Norway).
Today I tested a couple of motherboards as possible floppy imaging machines, using the excellent TestFDC program by Dave Dunfield.
Since I don't have the necessary cables for my 8 inch floppy drive yet, I tested with a 3.5 inch drive instead.
During that testing, I discovered that I have two non-working 3.5 inch floppy drives:
Panasonic JU-257A654P
Sony MPF920-E (E/131)
I haven't looked closely at the drives yet, to figure out what's wrong with them.
Should I repair the drives? Is it possible?
