smokin5s Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 5.25 hard drive? do you mean 5.25 floppy drive? or are you looking for a hard drive that fits in a 5.25 drive bay such as an ESDI drive or MFM?

I don't think I have one, but I'll do some poking around my stash of old stuff and see if maybe there is one hiding there.
