I don't know where to get this belt, more people have problem finding them.
I've allready send some messages to people who hopefully can help me with
this belt or replacing the disk-drive.
Maybe there is somebody on this list who has a broken Turbo-R with a
disk-drive that is still working?? Contact me!

I know... The disk-drive can't be found in European shops... and I even
think it is hard to find them anywhere else... Maybe in japan?
A couple of years ago I heared it was possible to connect a second
disk-drive to a Turbo-R, maybe that is a solution... maybe someone can telle
me...
