The disk drive inside my Turbo-R GT is beginning to fail on me. If anyone has a working spare to sell me please let me know. I'd like to buy one. Thanks. Smile

I'll take it. What's the total cost to USA? and What's your paypal address?

Yeah, I've already tried that. I think the read/write head is misaligned and i don't know how to fix that. The drive can read properly but would corrupt data when it writes to the diskette. I've also tried to use a disk drive cleaner thinking the read/write heads was dirty, but that didn't work either.

I have check the cost of shipped to USA and it´s not cheap at all (23 euros). So the total would add 73 euros. Let me know if you are still interested at this email and I will sent you Paypal details.
