Testing Note:
This drive is a clean pull and remains physically untested. Because I do not currently own a legacy desktop motherboard with a native floppy controller card and cables, I am unable to hook it up to verify read/write functions. It has been safely stored in a clean, dry environment and is being offered entirely as-is/untested.Please see photos, item sold as is, thanks and have a great day!
