Title: FM Towns marty drive belt
Post by: incrediblehark on May 17, 2011, 06:18:34 AM

Anybody know the dimensions of the Marty floppy drive belt? I'm looking to source a cheap alternative to an official replacement belt.

Still no response, after emailing twice, def makes me want to punch 'em! :P

However, I have been doing some research and have found a lot of info, and I've got some things in the works right now, for both short and long term replacement. I'll keep you posted!
