I think you can use any contemporary 3.25 inch floppy (like 2HD) for
an older system. I have heard that if you format it in 400k or 800k
and then try to use it as a 1.4MB, the newer drive may have a hard
time wiping off the older file system.

I picked up a Classic today from the place, which is pretty much down

if you order one, that's what you'll be getting.

If you don't want to buy a new tool and have a set of allen wrenches,
you can use one that will fit the torx socket. It takes quite a bit
more work, but I was able to do it by turning, then lifting the small
wrench over and over with my fingerstook about 10 min.

someone had problems with the floppy drive when they used a IIfx ROM.
Besides providing 32 bit clean code, what are the operational
