Getting back to nerd stuff now;

I ran into a bit of an issue a while ago with my Acorn Archimedes A310; the floppy drive had been left alone for 30 years with no disc in it, as a result the upper read head spring had, well, lost it's springyness and did not descend when a disc is inserted

To compound this issue the A310 is designed as such that the front face of the disc drive forms apart of the case itself, so unfortunately I can't just use any drive, and to further compound it, the drive (Sony MFD-63W-00D) is unusual that the eject button and activity LED are on the same side, so a compatible drive is gonna be very tricky indeed

Luckily, this isn't the only thing that Acorn used this particular drive in, earlier Acorn released a version of the BBC Master called the Master Compact, this put most of the computer itself in a wedge style keyboard, with an external pizza box style "drive unit" with a power supply and drive; I was able to acquire a known working one of these, and to sweeten the deal, these drive units don't use the monolithic drive case case front face design so I can easily throw in any old 3.5 inch drive and I don't need to destroy a piece of hardware

One quick transplant later, my A310 now has a working floppy drive!  I'll now probably use my leftover Master drive unit for my Greaseweazle since it provides power to the drives and overall just keeps things nice and clean
