MFM controller cards

I need to find at least one MFM HDD/floppy controller card to try toget into my old system. My billing files and some other programs whichI would like to back up are on on these drives. I think my controllerfailed. I could really use another of these drives if anyone has onealso but if not I would be happy just to find a controller boardinitially. I'm running two Seagate St251 drives. I've looked justabout everywhere for these things. If anyone has any of this oldstuff lying around they don't need and would like to sell, (or partwith, or whatever), please let me know. I would be very grateful.Thank you.

We had a large number of stiction failures on Rodime RO3055 40MB ST506 drives. Recovering the data for our customers consisted of a quick flick of the drive on it's axis of rotation, then copying the data to a new drive.

Have one complete subsystem in stock, tested working if interested. Controller, drive and floppy.
