Quite true. It's in one of the earlier MacAddict Issues. IIRC, March 1999. Anyway, don't try to use an auto-inject floppy drive from a SE/30 or other similar earlier Mac in one. Will constantly eject floppies. Apple did revise the code on the SWIM chip, beginning with the 7200. Once tried to put a Sony mechanism from a parts IIcx into my old 7500. Did not work. >Stuart > -J ++++ John H.
