A random question to the #RetroComputing crew:
If I was looking for a 5.25" disk drive to use with a #GreaseWeazleV4 #GreaseWeazle (or a PC at a later stage) - what should I be looking for?
I have seen a few ones where I didn't recognise the brand, and a few up there in the 300 EUR/GBP range. Those seemed dodgy.

TIA!

Side note: As for #Commodore64, I'm set with a couple of 1541/1541-II.
Side note 2: As for 3.5" I'm looking good, as well. I kept a couple of them, and I'm expecting a TEAC and an ALPS coming in for tinkering.

@TechTangents Just to add for others:
Here is Keir Fraser's GitHub page:

And under "Getting Started" I had my "Wait, what?" moment when it pointed to @TechTangents 😁

Not a real problem with adf-Files. But it's not a good idea to try "floppy emulation speed" to 800% when you make your first steps with real hardware using #GreaseweazleV4 under #WinUAE :)
Took a few moments until I realized the problem. Now it formats without any problems.

I've gifted two Christmas parts to myself. One is the #GreaseweazleV4 #Amiga USB floppy adapter. The other one is the actual RP2040 version of the #ZuluSCSI. First usage is the #MacIIfx. If it works fine maybe another one for the #A2000 after.
Background: My wife would never ever gift electronic to me, it's not her world.
