In which case you need to get a newer bracket I think (anyone else know 
for sure??). I'm pretty sure your drive mounts at the sides because the 
auto-inject floppy had no screw holes in the base to mount to, the 
manual-inject does however.

There definitely is an issue with alignment of the disk drives between 
the two types in most models if you use the original mounts for the 
auto-injects. An 8100 floppy tray shouldn't be too hard to find, it's 
worth it just to make sure your floppy drive doesn't die, as the 
auto-inject units have a nasty habit of doing.

The barcket is plastic and looks like a tray with one
end open.  There are four screw holes are on the sides
to hold the drive in.  There are no holes on the
bottom.

My 840av has a plastic 'sled' that the manual inject drive attaches to 
via the screw mount points in the BASe of the drive. I also know from 
other machines I have worked on that swapping the floppy from auto- to 
manual-inject will lead to alignment problems. The 8100 sled and floppy 
should fit the 800 and 840av. Can you describe what the auto-inject 
bracket looks like?

Quarda 840av/ Power Mac 8100 Floppy Bracket

[John Kocijanski]

Hello.  I have a Quadra 840av with a auto inject
floppy in it.  I wanted to put a manual inject floppy
in it and thought all I needed was a bezel from a
Power Mac 8100 to do this.  I wanted the auto inject
floppy for another machine.  The bezel fits fine but
the drive sits too low in the 840 auto inject bracket
for a floppy to eject properly.  Does the 8100 have a
different floppy bracket than the 840?  If so will
that bracket fit in the 840?  Thanks.
