If you cannot insert a disk because the mechanism does not accept it (things don't go sprung in the right places) try removing the drive and clean all the sliding metal parts on the two sides with alcohol until the old residue is removed. Stay away from teh head mechanism inside the drive. People have bent things messing with those. Oh, you can touch them if you know what you're doing, just don't go after them wihtout finding some good explicit instructions first. Second, if you try to install a manual-inject drive instead of the older auto-inject drive, I'm pretty sure you need to change the floppy cable, otherwise the drive will go into a mode where it constantly ejects. I may be misremembering, but there was an issue wtih floppy cables with red stripes and floppy cables with yellow stripes.

Re: Apple Mac G3 Beige
Hi Barry, sorry for late reply. I was very busy. I have packed the keyboard, keyboard cable, 2 plastic HD sleds and SCSI cable that you are looking for. The package is ready to be shipped. I am giving you the items for free but would be happy if you could support me on shipping costs? The cost of shipping is 22,98 EUR.
