  • Where can i get Microddrive cassettes from?Hi, can i still buy microdrive casettes anywhere? Also i just got hold of an OPUS discdrive? Can i just use a regular floppy disc in this?

    Try the sintech website, the link is on the link section
    of the WOS. Bought a couple ones from there, they have both
    new and used ones.

    And yes, I think the opus will drive regular disks, but
