Well, I'm not seeing a red light inside the floppy drive but I suppose that it might be broken. . . or it could have been changed out with an 800k disk. Looks like I'll be cracking it open again now that I have more information to identify it by its parts.
I should probably get 400k disks. Or is it okay to use 800k disks? On Tue, Nov 24, 2009 at 2:05 PM, D.
