Opening an Amiga 500 - which Torx?

Tomorrow I will be getting an amiga 500 for free which needs floppy drive replacement. I have been told that it has torx screws so its a good idea to buy an approppriate screwdriver.
Anyone knows which bit size I will need?
Cheers

Ok I got 2 x A500s today.
On one of them, ALL SCREWS were torx.
On the other, screws on the outside were normal, inside, torx.
I used torx #10 to unscrew.
