Title: A600 FDD on a A500?
Post by: EnyGmaTiK on May 27, 2004, 08:28:27 PM

I'm bidding for an A600 fdd on e-bay for use on my A500 since my original FDD died a few years back.
I assume i don't have a problem fitting/using it on my A500 or is there?

The drives are pin compatible.
Some of the A600 drives were a bit slimmer, but these should fit in the A500 OK.  The mounting holes should all line up.

I think the A600's eject button is a slightly different shape?  Shouldn't cause any major problems.
