Just to make things clear. I don't exactly see where Amigakit is offering me refund.

Hi,
I'm not pleased at all to see that the internal A1200/A600 are not original parts. I can modify my own drives if I want (which I have plenty in my corners). This drive doesn't suit the original infinity tower which requires original drives to support the eject button on infinity tower. That is 43 euros wasted for nothing. What sall we do, it costs me about 40 euros to ship them back...
Regards,
Antti Jarvinen

The floppy drive buttons are in the same position as the original drives.

Doesn't really help as Infinity Tower uses the orginal metal part of the eject button which differs drastically from PC drives. This drive won't fit in Infinity Tower. It should be mentioned that these are modified PC drives. Would have saved me the trouble and money. Now how will you refund me as it is clear that it doesn't make any sense to ship these items back?

Fine. I will ship these drives back and expect full refund including shipping. The product is clearly misrepresented on your website. Could you give me address for returns so I can ship these back?
Customer Services (Matthew) on 2008-12-29 06:05:43
We do not refund shipping charges. The item is not misrepresented - it is a floppy drive for an A1200/A600- exactly as described:
"Amiga internal 3.5" floppy disk drive for the Amiga A1200 or A600.
Brand new and guaranteed. Drive mechanism may vary."
If you email us before ordering - we are happy to advise on compatibility and answer any questions you have. We advise customers to do this if they wish to check details.

It doesn't say anywhere that these are modified PC drives. If you sell an internal amiga floppy drive, one would expect it to be used with original amiga parts, but as is this drive doesn't even support the original A1200 eject button if one likes to use it nor is this drive compatible with Infinity Tower. I was expecting a fully compatible A1200 internal drive and I got this POS PC drive which I could modified myself.

There are no specific Amiga 880K floppy drives parts - Commodore and Escom/AT all used PC floppy drives modified to work with the Amiga- sometimes with jumpers, sometimes with hard wiring.
The A1200 floppy button varied in design depending on whether the A1200 had an Epson, Chinon, Teac, Panasonic or Sony drive. The Teac drives even featured three different designs of eject button.
The description does not confirm compatibility with the Infinitiv tower system- it specifies the Amiga 1200 or 600 as the suitable computers.
[here is where I lost it]
