    Description

    This is a bundle of vintage 8" floppy drives, controller, disks, and more.  This is from my
    S-100
    system that I built, programmed, and used.  Everything was working when I switched over to a PC.  That was decades ago, and it's been in storage since.  I no longer have my S-100 computer, so I can't do much testing.
    Here's what's included:
    Calcomp 140 with broken latch (foam air filter disintegrated)
    Calcomp 142M
    (foam air filter disintegrated)
    Tarbell MDL 1011D S-100 bus, FDD controller
    Collection of 8" floppy disks some had CP/M and more (readability unverified)
    Printed Digital Research CP/M license agreement
    Wire-wrapped 50-pin to 34-pin ribbon cable adapter (homebuilt)
    Scanned source of BIOS on CD-R.  It shows my system drivers including the Tarbell.
    A picture shows some of the BIOS source.  The hardcopy printout is not included, but the scan of the source is.
    I have many more pictures if there's anything else you want to see.  What I could see regarding the condition is described.  There may be other problems and everything is sold "AS IS" for parts or repair.
    I also have a homebuilt case and a linear power supply that I used with these drives -- not pictured.  I didn't include these in this listing, but I could re-list if it's something of interest.
    I listed this bundle in a way that makes sense for trying to bring up a working 8" floppy subsystem.  I don't know if that's what you need.  If you just want parts of this bundle, let me know and I'll relist in a way that makes more sense.
    Please message me with questions.
