Auto Inject Old Style LC475
Hi all, Mark asked me if I'd take some photos of my LC475 with "Auto Inject" drive and "Old Style" case. I have the feeling that these might be a bit of a rarity as he didn't think they existed until I showed him, and he's the definitive Pizza-Box Mac guy in the uk!

All Mac floppy drives are auto eject, so no need to say so. The older Auto Inject drives "snap" the disk into the drive after you have it shoved in about 2/3 of the way. The later Manual Inject drives require the user to push the disk completely into the drive until it is fully seated and locked. Macs with a big "dimple" in the middle of the floppy slot use manual inject drives. Macs with a plain slot use auto inject. Manual inject drives also have a feeble attempt at a dust flap that doesn't do a @#%#%@ worth of good at keeping out dust. But they also _don't_ have the "dust shield" plastic cover of the auto inject drives that does nothing but ensure that anything sucked through the slot stays inside the drive. = "The earth swarms with inhabitants.

It's the floppy with the sucking sound. The auto inject means that you don't slam the disk all the way in. You put it about 1/4 of the way and the drive grabs it and pulls it in.

Auto inject?
I'm always seeing eBay auctions for an "auto inject floppy". Is this a typo, or does such as animal exist? Does the seller mean "auto eject". -- --- Scientists have confirmed that Outlook Express does not aid in the spread of Ebola. --- http://homepage.mac.com/stmoody/ http://www.macunlimited.com/news/articles/TechTVverifies.html -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
