I have US half dollar coins (JFK) trom 2017, and maybe later they were in
proof sets, unc sets, and banks should have them for general circulation.

The banks I go to usually have a pretty good selection. Every once in a
while I'll get a surprise from a teller who has been saving something
special for me for a few days. If asked nicely, some tellers will watch for
things for you.

I think that half-dollar and small dollar are still officially in
circulation. You might have to ask your bank to ORDER.
I think that they stopped minting half dollar in 2002, when they decided
that they had enough inventory to meet foreseeable needs.
Half-dollar would presumably be all
This is interesting. How long ago was that out of curiosity? I keep
thinking to ask my bank if they have any dollar coins or half dollar rolls
(probably doing them a favor by trading for more common currency) same with
$2 bills. Might as well get them before they're really out of circulation
This is how it shipped from the factory. Note the fact that the floppy
drive has a ribbon cable instead of a regular FDD connection this is,
from every picture i've seen, how they came. I would need another Alps or
similar FDD that has the same ribbon cable connector instead of a standard

I would suggest inquiring in the comp.sys.ibm.ps2.hardware newsgroup.
I fairly regularly see discussions about using regular

It... seems to be working reliably again now.
I'd still be interested in finding a spare/compatible, even if it's a bare
drive without the card edge connector, but somehow now that i've been
prodding it and doing absolutely nothing different other than booting off
it a few times, it seems to be
Hey all, i'm having a fair amount of trouble with my PS/2's floppy drive...
wanted to back up my BBS and none of the disks i put in would read or

Oddly though, it WILL boot a disk that's inserted on power-on.
I hear it try and hit the disk a few times while in dos repeatedly before
Hear, hear. Sellam is one of the few good ones. You don't like the prices,
don't buy, but he's been a good member of the community for decades. Sellam
is a true collector and enthusiast and that's why he has such a huge
inventory. I helped him on one of his moves and it was massive at the time.
FYI, it is unlikely there would have been a VCF without Sellam. He
basically started it (with his own money) and continued through the
first 10 years or so. Many others help support VCF (and continue to
do so even though Sellam backed out some number of years ago.)
Many thanks to Sellam
