I would like to add a second floppy to my FD-501 case.  Any reasonable
priced sources?

----------------------------------

And I thought the days of $100+ 5.25" 360K floppy drives were over! The average price I found searching around were in the $55-$75 range, with several as high as $235 for refurbished high end drives.

I did find some on e-bay under $50, and California Digital is still advertising beige Misubishi drives for $39 and Tandon 180K (single sided like the original CoCo drives) for only $9. Go to http://www.cadigital.com/flopdriv.htm and scroll down near the bottom of the page. Those are the guys with the $45 Dragon 64 computers -- they still advertise them!
