Looking for MO disk to test my drive

Hello there.

one of my cubes has a MO drive, although it's a '040. i have no idea if it is still working or not. it looks like it was never used. another cube has a cd300 in its place. very neat, but the MO has my priority

And oh yea, i live in Amsterdam, the Netherlands (europe, you know...)

are there many dutch next users around?

I think the non turbo 040s still had hookups for MO drives, thats why yours still has one even though its a 040.

Yeah, they did. I'm debating trying to dig up a MO drive for my 040/25 cube, actually. Has to be working, though, or there's no point.

Hi macsimski

Only the Turbo cube motherboards (33Mhz) didn't support Magneto-Optical units. All others do.

macsimski,

I am in the process of reviving my own MO drive. After I get it operational I will test the MO disks I have and will gladly send you one for the cost of postage.

Please send me your mailing address and I will let you know how much it is going to cost. I travel to Utrecht (Nieuwegein actually) on business twice a year but I do not have a trip coming up soon, otherwise I would deliver it personally.

Regards,
