The replacement drive that works had a largish cover on it that was too big for the space for it. This cover has the number 805-5111-A on it. The drive I replaced had four largish screws that fit into slots on the comp. It slid into place and locked. The replacement without the large cover took the screws but was just barely too narrow to fit properly, but it still works OK. Strange.

I had this problem once myself, and had to get the proper drive to make it accept floppies properly through the bezel. They're electrically compatible, but apparently not dimensionally. :-) Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: "Duggie" >...The problem I'm having is that the floppy drive doesn't fit in the bay > that the old drive came out of, too big.
