I've actually had my eye on both of these listings for a while, but I've
held off due to the high prices of TPDD2s. I will likely get an FB100
eventually, since that seems like the cheapest option.
I assume there is a similar utility floppy for the TPDD1. You don't have
any of those do you?
There is a similar disk for TPDD1, but 1: You don't need it if all you
want is to be able to use the drive, 2: You can re-create the disk with
github.com/bkw777/pdd.sh , which includes images of both the TPDD1 and
TPDD2 disks, and uses the drive itself to write the new disk.
To use an FB-100, you will need to buy or build the special cable, since
an FB-100 will usually come with no cable, or only the one meant for the
sewing machines that only has the little 2x4 rectangular plug on both
ends. github.com/bkw777/TPDD_Cable
I built some for arcadeshopper.com a while back but he may have sold
them all by now.
