Hi!
The other day, my floppy drive broke
.
I've traced the problem down to a faulty HD/DD switch (the one by the eject button), and now all I need is a replacement. The trouble is, what should I look for? (What are these switches called, etc.)
BTW, the problem was that if I inserted an HD disk, the drive would try and read it as a DD disk. It would sometimes even rapidly speed the motor up and slow it down; that's when the switch was coming on and off.
Thanks,
onlyonemac
