I was #retrocomputing on modern hardware today. I bought some Jaz drives for moving files to retro machines. I could never get them working on the retro machines. Turns out two out of three drives were no good. So, that explains that frustration.....

A Jaz drive with disk sticking out and the case standing up on top.  it is sitting on top of my modern Windows 11 machine.

Hth does a Cumana set of dual 5.25" half-height drives weigh 5.8kg?
It's got two separate (small) transformers for some reason; did NEC make the drives out of depleted uranium?

So I look through my pile of 8" floppies for @… thinking I'll have a few random ones to send him, and I find a motherload of Perq floppies!

Eek, opened my Series 7 model B up, assuming I'd just need to clean and do the RIFAs, but all the internal plastic is in a terrible shape - the board looks fine; just the plastic is terrible; pitted everywhere, and that side of the PSU!

Inside a BBC Model B computer, looking at the PSU; teh blastic next to it is bent away
Inside of BBC B case; the plastic is all pitted.
