I picked up an old behemoth tower IBM 8560-041 and almost got a hernia dragging it home. I opened it up and carefully cleaned out the disintegrating
black foam and dirt. I powered it up and the hard drive spun up. The IBM errors were 161, 163, and 601.I noticed that there was NO Floppy disk drive.
Can anybody tell me:
1) What smooth edge floppy disk drive this unit took? I believe it is a 3.5 1.44 mb FDD.
2) What model would this take?
3) Where can one acquire a compatible or original drive?
Thanks for any assistance.
