IBM Microdrive Tools Needed

January 17th, 2011, 7:41

Hi Friends

I have a IBM Microdrive with head failure but do not have tools to open the unit. I have attached three pictures of the screws. I think they are called tri-star. I am willing to import the tools to South Africa. I have donor units available. Any help regarding this matter will be highly appreciated. Regards

Close :) It's a triwing (or tri-wing, since some people / companies hypenate the name).

I know that Wiha sell that shape of bit, but I don't know if they sell the specific small size which you need.

That is one example, but now I've given the correct name, I hope you'll be able to search for other suppliers, if the suggestions above for other tools aren't successful.

Good luck...
