SACC might have an extra 2000 drive, You would have to change the button.

That would be great, perhaps we can talk more about it at the upcoming club meeting. :)
@dschallock
Believe me, talking is NO problem at SACC. FYI, club members, we have a "small" stock of Amiga stuff for a small cost.
I let Daniel (SACC's keeper of spare parts) know.

BTW, AmigaKit has brand new floppy drives if that's what you want.

@danbeaver thats a good idea too but Amigakit does not sell an A500 internal floppy drive replacement.  They have an A600 and A1200 internal floppy drives for sale but nothing for the the A500 or A3000.

I have 2 older drive units that just don't work anymore.  I suppose I could try to learn how to fix them.  That is perhaps an option too.
@dschallock
Actually, the amigakit drives are great and compatible, just one inch high instead of 1 1/4.
Installing them just leaves a small gap. (allows more flow?)grin

Fixing is a big option. Dan also tries to clean up old drives and has given us a master class on how to.
but sometimes old floppy drive just give the ghost.
