There are definate clearance problems. The first Mac I bought, an LCIII, came with a manual-inject drive. It was supposed to use an auto-inject drive; consequently, you could not insert a floppy: the height of the drive mechanism did not match the height of the opening. The only other issue I'm aware of is that the manual-override is in a different place. However, it might not be such a problem going in the other direction: the floppy slots seem taller on the manual-inject Macs. They may be enough taller that an auto-inject drive would work fine; the height difference isn't large as I recall. Cheers, Jesse -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
