Pretty much any manual-inject Mac floppy drive will work. I haven't checked in over a year, but they were thick on the ground on Ebay for about $5 each or less in the form of pulls from LCIIIs and such. You may be able to get a new Umax drive from list sponsor Small Dog. I think they still had some a few weeks ago. I don't know if they managed to sell them off in their latest Garage Sale.
