  • Drive needs attention, stop using the paperclip to get the disk in there. Have you tried to enter a disk normally? You use the paperclip only if the disk jams or refuses to come out on it's own.

    You don't use it to put a floppy in!

  • Yes it does need attention, that is why I had to use the paperclip. I understand that the paperclip is only to be used in an emergency, but that is exactly what I had.

  • I remember when I bought a un used one of these online. Started it up. Made so much noise my neighbors woke up. Nice going, Steve

  • I'd love to take it apart and find the engraved signatures of Steve Jobs and his team on this machine.I've used few of these in the past but never had a chance to disassemble one to see them,

  • I have an idea.. Get a external floppy drive for it.
