Subj: CHIPMUNKS, ANYONE?
Long, long, ago, (Perhaps in a galaxy far, far, away, I know at least it was in another lifetime), I heard mention of a a guy on a disabilities based BBS that he had a Model 100 with a chipmunk drive. (I *think* it was the chipmunk drive?) Anyway, he told me that instead of regular disks, this supposed "drive" took something he called, "wafers." Now I know this is a SUPER LONG SHOT, but I don't suppose there is ANY chance that these so called "wafers" are in fact the two inch version of the 3.5 disk? *Blink* I have here a Zenith MiniSPORT laptop conmputer, IBM compatible, and the disk that came with it (sadly, there was indeed only one) sure as heck DOES look like it could be considered a "wafer" to me! It looks like a 3.5 floppy that went through the dryer and shrunk. What I need to know is where, if there is such a place, I can get MORE of these? This laptop is SO adorable looking and quite functional and satisfactory for my needs. But it needs more disks to be effective. I don't suppose Rick would have some of these old beasties hanging around the warehouse? *Blink* I'll gladly pay to take them off your hands, even shipping. I am looking to get like, oh I don't know, 25 would be a good number, if you could swing it. If not, has ANYONE ever SEEN these, and if so, does ANYONE know where I can GET them? I have tried computer stores, camera stores, and department stores. Everyone looks at me like I am crazy. Next time I will take the damn disk with me to prove my sanity. Meanwhile, any help would be appreciated. Thomas A. McKean, Col., H.O.K.C.
