Hi:
I recently purchased an ALPS Electric Co., Ltd DF354N048C, serial number
8B617741 and part number D2035-60282 floppy drive as a replacement for my
1.44 Mb Mitsubishi MF335F 2592MA, serial number M597744 floppy drive that was
demagnetized. I plan on placing it into my PowerMac 7500/100.
Anyone familair with this floppy drive? Has anyone used it in their PowerMac
7500 or any of their PowerMacs? I was told that that this drive would be
compatible with anything except a Compaq. Still, I've never changed a floppy
drive before. So, I wanted some group input before proceeding.
Specifically, I want to be sure whether I am experimenting, flrting with
disaster or wasting my time.
I thought I had a problem with me FD on my IBM compat and thought that I could take the one from the 7300 and replace the drive. Unfortunately, this was not so. Mac FD's don't have a separate power cable. The connexion on it is "all-in-one." The FD's for the PC world have a different kind of interface. So, unless the seller told you that this drive would work on the Mac...
