I'm interested in getting a 8" DSDD floppy drive in an external case.
Something I might be able to wire up to an IBM-PC for use in making
archive backups of my 8" floppy disks.

Any idea on how much shipping something like this, either a single
or dual floppy drive, would cost? I'm in Minneapolis, zip 55414.
