I'd like to try and get hold of a cheap 3.5" floppy drive for an
old XT computer (to fit in a standard 5.25" slot).  Doesn't have 
to be at all fancy, but I'd like to know it works as I'll be carrying
it across to Perth before I can try it out.

Can anyone suggest a good place to get hold of such a dinosaur?

I had thought of trying one of the swap meets, but it's hard to
be sure the thing actually works when buying there.  (I'm willing
to pay a little more to be a little confident it's not a dud.)

Thanks, Michael
