My Hitachi's stiffydrive finally gave out. It's a TEAC FD-235HG 7338-U5. The agents are totally crazy on the price for a new one (about R5000-00!!!).
Is it possible to save the TAP file on a memory stick, make use of a usb to rs232 adaptor cable to download the nc file on the machine's harddrive?
The memory stick & cable cost R250. Much much less than a new stiffy drive......
