Excellent Peter, definitely the way to go, a very neat solution. Just
out of interest what was the problem with plugging in the original
drive LED's.
There are several issues, the most obvious one is: Both QL case LEDs are
on the same connector, so if you want to keep one microdrive in addition
to one QL-SD, where to plug the connector?
The internal LED on QL-SD is easy to see and has the same shape as the
QL LED, so the QL style is not broken :-)
Also I have marked "+" and "-" for the LED on the QL-SD board, so maybe
a tinkerer who really wants the original case LED will remove it and
solder the original case cables instead. (We can not expect the average
user to cut cables and use a soldering iron though...)
All the best
Peter

Actually, only the Samsung QLs use a single block connector for the LEDS.
The majority of QLs have six individual wires (two per LED), so it would
be easy to take two of these and solder them to the new QL-SD board
(that is if you can get the other 4 wires back into the fiddly connector!)
