Do you realize how old this message is? I have a hard time remembering
what I had for breakfast. :-)

But in this case....

Most of the time it is bearings. The drives get louder and louder and
then one day they just don't spin any more. One or two were probably
logic boards but I don't think many go that way.

Not necessarily a DC11. I have two of them. But I really could use
the "Personality Cards" Especially one or two for 8" disks. And I
could always use some for the ST506 disks as I am hoping to be able
to spring for a couple of the emulators at some point.

I'm not looking for disks. I still have a bunch of ST506 disks
that may or may not spin up the next time I try them. :-)
I am only looking for the adapters (which Andromeda called
"Personality Cards") which hang off the cable coming from the
DC11. I have two ST506 adapters and one 5.25/3.5" floppy
adapter. I would love to get two more ST506, another floppy
and I would love top get a pair of the ones for 8" disks.
But I expect there is little hope of that by now.

Well, there's really no cable per se. Maybe a couple stubs on the
ST506 ones. Mostly just a cute little pc board with a couple
connectors on it. But, yes, they're the ones.
