SuperDrives! (the good kind)

The old kind, that is. :beige: Bought two of 'em on eBay the other day. Will come in handy - I don't have any spare auto-inject FDDs, only manual-inject.

You can never have to many working superdrives, they also seem harder to find.

I have a few spare auto inject and manual inject (at least I think I still have some autos). I like putting 2 drives in the large mac II's.

Those are auto-inject?

Yep, they most certainly are. Here is an article explaining the differences between auto-inject and manual-inject FDDs.

Oh, I know what they are. The reason I asked is because auto-injects don't seem terribly common these days.

They came today, now if only I had an old Mac here to put them in!

(for those who aren't in the know, I'm living on campus at uni, all my computers apart from the MacBook and the Dell are several hundred kilometres south) I think one of the drives is actually an 800k drive, its a 661-0345 - I'm hoping it is, that way I can put it into my 128k and put the SuperDrive thats currently in it in another machine...having a SuperDrive-equipped 128k somehow feels wrong.
