Subject:Floppy drive for Sony digital camera wanted
From:Andrew Grebneff
Date:Thu, 17 Jul 2003 09:18:40 +1200

I have a Sony Mavica FD88 digital camera. The floppy drive has failed.

So I need either a dead camera with good drive, or else a bare drive
unit. I don't know for sure, but other Mavica floppies will probably
fit.

I could also use a battery... these are Sony NP-series lithium-ion
batteries. (NOTE: I have a Sony video camera which takes NP-dseries
batteries; these have only the 2 terminal sockets in one end. The
Mavica takes an identical-seeming battery... but this one has an
exposed [ground?] contact at the other end. The types are not
interchangable, though they will physically fit perfectly into the
wrong camera). So: an NP-series battery with a bare contact at the
"blank" end opposite the end with 2 sunken round contacts.
