Performa 631 Floppy Replacement
Posted by: senrew on 2019-07-15 23:03:22
Simple question, but I can't find a simple yes or no out there.

The floppy on my 631 is acting up, probably just needs a cleaning. If I need to ultimately replace it, do I have to find another manual inject, or can I use an auto-inject superdrive in this machine?

I dont know 100%, but I would assume that the insertion slots would not line up properly.

on a PCI based power mac, if you use an auto inject drive, it will repeatedly try to eject a disk.  Manual inject drives are relatively cheap on ebay.  i just bought a NOS one for only 40
