Atari 1050 5.25" Floppy Disk Drive:
$50.00

This is a vintage Atari 1050 5.25” floppy disk drive. I purchased it new for use with my Atari 800 computer.
In the box you will find the 1050 drive, the original Atari power supply, a photocopy of the 1050 owner's manual, and the serial I/O cable for connecting the drive to the computer, or another floppy drive.
BE AWARE: Some time ago I repaired the power connector that plugs into the rear of the drive. I soldered a new connector to the power cable and wrapped the plug with electrical tape. This is shown in the accompanying photographs. The repair is fully functional and the drive spins up flawlessly.
I have included the following photos:
-1 The 1050 drive in its original manufacturer's packaging. The power adapter is in the box to the left of the drive, and the serial I/O cable is show above the power adapter.- 2 The repaired power connector. PICK ONE OUT OF THE SEVERAL!- 3 The left side of the drive- 4 The rear of the drive showing (left-to-right) the drive selector switch, two serial I/O ports for connecting the drive to a computer or daisy-chaining the drive to another 1050 drive, and the power connector jack- 5 The right side of the drive
I no longer have the Atari DOS disk that came with the drive. However I have tested the drive connected directly to my Atari 800 and it functioned perfectly, successfully loading a vintage copy of VisiCalc. (VisiCalc not included!) I also tested the drive daisy-chained through another 1050 drive connected to my Atari and it functioned properly in that configuration also.
This is a fully functional used drive and is sold without warranty.
