A3000 floppy disk eject button

[mikey2001]

Hello people,

I have just purchased an A3000UX second hand and I booted it up last night to find everything was working fine. Then I noticed that it appeared to have no internal floppy disk drives! After peering inside the left hand floppy hole I could see the floppy mechanism but there was no eject button!  :-o Does anyone know where I could get a floppy disk eject button for the A3000UX or failing that, an original internal floppy drive that would fit an A3000 case?   :-?  :huh:

Many thanks in advance,

Mike

I never thought of that... i can't get the cover fully off, but i cant see the button between the front of the case and the main metal part, although maybe the button is lodged deeper in the case!  :-o The case is really hard to remove though, it only moves about half an inch so i can't see properly  :-(

@ Everyone

Thanks very much for all your advice so far.  :-) I have now sucessfully removed the case and unfortunately I cannot find the button anywhere.  :-( It looks as if I will have to buy a new one, the question is does anyone know where from?  :-?  :huh:

i know that power computing sell internal disk drives for the A500/+/600/1200 so they might be worth giving a try, take a look on their website

Cheers HopperJF, many thanks.  Although A3000 internal floppies are not listed I will send them an email to see if they have a spare knocking around.  :-)

Well, ive heard nothing from Power Computing so ive sent an email to Vesalia to see if I can get any joy out of them.  :-)

Thanks Steve, that looks promising but I need to know for certain if the button would be usable on an original A3000 case, cos the hole for the button is like the A1200 one (i.e. quite large).  :-)
