Open the LC II and remove the floppy drive. Flaps on the rear side spread,

There's a pin or light at the sides that pokes/shines up where you would
normally expect to see the "holes" in the floppy when it's in the drive.

I've never seen a floppy drive with a light. Has anybody else seen one besides Jeff?
Not on my Macs, but one of my Amiga external floppies used an LED to check if the floppy tab was closed or shut. All the others I've seen have a small plastic pin about 4mm long that can sometimes jam stuck down (so the hole is always assumed closed) or sometimes break off/bend and never go down (always presumed open).
