Let me quote www.tankraider.com:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>A late Austrian Sharp user Club Magazine lists a &quot;discounted Group order&quot; with a Price of 8000 Austrian Schilling for the PC-3000, 10,000 Schilling for the PC-3100 (Around 20% more) and &#8211; interestingly &#8211; about 4700 Schilling for the floppy. Yes the Floppy costed more than half of the PC-3000, making it one of the most expensive floppy drives ever sold at that time&#8230; And it explains why the floppy is so rare these days. The Floppy disk drive mentioned in the PC-3000 article obviously also fits for the PC-3100. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Therefore I decided to share few high resolution photos of the disk drive.<\/p>\n<p>More info on Shard PC-3100 is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tankraider.com\/DOSPALMTOP\/sharppc3100.html\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"rl-gallery-container rl-loading\" id=\"rl-gallery-container-1\" data-gallery_id=\"914\"> <div class=\"rl-gallery rl-basicmasonry-gallery rl-hover-effect-1 rl-hover-icon-2\" id=\"rl-gallery-1\" data-gallery_no=\"1\"> <div class=\"rl-gutter-sizer\"><\/div><div class=\"rl-grid-sizer\"><\/div> <div class=\"rl-gallery-item rl-gallery-item-width-4\" > <div class=\"rl-gallery-item-content\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/handheld.computer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Sharp-PC-3100-Floppy-7-scaled.jpg\" title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/handheld.computer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Sharp-PC-3100-Floppy-7-800x403.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"403\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <div class=\"rl-gallery-item\" > <div class=\"rl-gallery-item-content\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/handheld.computer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Sharp-PC-3100-Floppy-6-scaled.jpg\" title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/handheld.computer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Sharp-PC-3100-Floppy-6-800x533.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <div class=\"rl-gallery-item\" > <div class=\"rl-gallery-item-content\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/handheld.computer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Sharp-PC-3100-Floppy-8-scaled.jpg\" title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/handheld.computer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Sharp-PC-3100-Floppy-8-800x533.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <div class=\"rl-gallery-item\" > <div class=\"rl-gallery-item-content\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/handheld.computer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Sharp-PC-3100-Floppy-4-scaled.jpg\" title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/handheld.computer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Sharp-PC-3100-Floppy-4-800x502.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"502\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <div class=\"rl-gallery-item\" > <div class=\"rl-gallery-item-content\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/handheld.computer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Sharp-PC-3100-Floppy-2-scaled.jpg\" title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/handheld.computer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Sharp-PC-3100-Floppy-2-800x533.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <div class=\"rl-gallery-item\" > <div class=\"rl-gallery-item-content\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/handheld.computer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Sharp-PC-3100-Floppy-1-scaled.jpg\" title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/handheld.computer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Sharp-PC-3100-Floppy-1-782x800.jpg\" width=\"782\" height=\"800\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <div class=\"rl-gallery-item\" > <div class=\"rl-gallery-item-content\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/handheld.computer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Sharp-PC-3100-Floppy-3-scaled.jpg\" title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/handheld.computer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Sharp-PC-3100-Floppy-3-800x800.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <div class=\"rl-gallery-item\" > <div class=\"rl-gallery-item-content\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/handheld.computer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Sharp-PC-3100-Floppy-5-scaled.jpg\" title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/handheld.computer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Sharp-PC-3100-Floppy-5-800x641.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"641\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Floppy disk drive for Sharp PC-3100 (CE-301F) is a very rare device.
