A3000 floppy mystery

[weirdami]

I have some internal 3 1/2" floppy drives and I'd like to determine if they're from an A3000. Are there any sort of tell-tale signs that distinguish A3000 floppy drives from, say, non-Amiga floppy drives? I don't have a working A3000 to put these into, so I'll have to be an external inspection of the drives. Just need to know what to look for.

Did A3000UX's have different sorts of floppy drives than A3000's? That info would be helpful, too.

Hey, thanks guys! :-D

I determined that I have 2 FB-354's. One's REV D, the other REV E. (There's about 20 million between the serial numbers.)

These things have huge eject buttons! 3 inches wide, they are! :-? Now, I just need to find a place to get the little white dealy that pokes out of the front of the case and connects to the eject button inside.

What's a bezel? Is that the front cover? These don't have those, I'm guessing because the A3000 case acts as the front cover.

Would I be able to test these things in an A1200, A500, or A1000? I still have to figure out my my A3000 motherboard is cheesed. WIll a missing battery cause yellow and gray bootup colors?

I guess I'll just have to either sell this puppy or dig out some electronics testing gizmos and teach myself electronics repair. :-)

How much are broken A3000 motherboards going for these days, anyway?

All that was connected when I got the colors was the monitor and the power supply. I didn't connect anythig else.
