Modify Apple II drive for Apple III?

I have an Apple III that doesn't seem to want to read any disks in the drive. I even tried to boot it up by loading ADTPro over serial, that seems to fail loading into RAM. At first I thought the floppy drive was defective, but now I'm starting to think it's a logicboard thing. If I could just get my hands on a working floppy drive to rule it out. I've been keeping my eye on eBay for months and haven't been able to find one. I've heard that an Apple II drive can be modified to work on an Apple III, but I haven't been able to find any details on it.

Does anyone have any information on that?

Looks like a solid read. It would be even better if someone had an Eagle CAD file for that adapter!
