Gould/SEL/Encore Floppy Disk Drive Replacement
The FES-1 is a direct form, fit and function replacement for dual 8" floppy drives and dual 5.25" floppy drives used on Gould/SEL and Encore computer systems. These drives were used on many computer models as boot and diagnostic load devices. The FES-1 replaces the older floppy drives with currently available ANSI standard floppy disk drives and media for improved reliability and maintainability.
The FES-1 directly replaces LP/FD interface floppy drives with 3.5" and/or 5.25" floppy drives.
