When the 3 1/4-in floppy camera came out I wanted one. It was not in my budget. But a decade and a half ago a friend gave me one. It worked. It came with two batteries and three floppies.

Yesterday a different friend gave me one as well. It came with one battery. That battery is the same as the other batteries.

I went from a person who couldn’t afford anything back in the day to a person who’s just being handed these priceless artifacts.

They both work. The only device I can read the disk on are the cameras themselves because I have no floppy drives.

Sony Mavica FD91 and FD81

    OP needs a floppy drive. Who has one they don’t use and can give it to OP?

      I don’t have a tower to put the poppy drive in. I’d rather make sure that these end up in a good home.

      I’ve still got one hooked up to a machine that’s old enough to vote. Worked last time I used it too but it’s been about 5 years since then. OP could send me the diskette like I’m one of those mail-in photo development studios from the days of ubiquitous film cameras. Gotta upgrade the printer first though and I hate dealing with printers.
