One or the other. In this case, you got pins. If they're straight, and stay so when you insert a floppy, then either you have a high density drive, (red Sony label on the side of the drive), or a double density drive, (blue label), and if the floppy sets in and removes effortlessly, it should work. Look to see if the carriage looks bent or tweaked. The carrier (in-and-out sliding part of the disk tray) should look straight, not rumpled. If you see anything odd happen to the pins, the carriage or the disk upon insertion of a floppy, then you gotta feex it. Jeff -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
