Hi there,

I opened the box and found that the floppy drive is a Sony MP-F52W-20
drive. I tried to find such a used drive on ebay and so on but it
seems very challenging Does anyone know a good website were you can
look up compatibility with other/newer floppy drives?

Thanks!
David



Most floppy drives are electrically identical, there's not really anything
in the way of intelligence in the drive. Assuming it has a standard 34 pin
interface cable, I'd try plugging in a generic PC drive and see what
happens.
