    Well...
    
    I'll soon have an uncased 1/2 megabyte 3 1/2 inch disk drive
    available... the trouble is it won't have a power supply or anything
    like that. Probably not worth the trouble. However, if anyone's
    interested in my drive (perfect working order) then it's going very
    cheaply! Perhaps if your internal disk drive is playing up ? Just plug
    my little beauty in and away you go!
    
    
    Cheers,
    
    
    				Jamie.
    
    
    P.S. shouldn't that be 1040 ?!!!

My guess is that the author is looking for a disk drive for the 8-bit Atari.
The most common 8-bit Atari disk drive is Atari's 1050.
