| What 1.44MB floppy drives are compatible with the SE/30 ? |
Posted by: keropi6k6 on 2021-02-05 06:40:24
Hello!
Continuing the troubleshooting of my SE/30 (and before I start more serious work on the motherboard) - I need some help getting a replacement drive for the system.
I found a forum post with the same issue I have: https://www.applefritter.com/node/4495 , this person's SE/30 also crashed when a floppy was inserted and he determined it was the drive.
Anyone can help on what part # I should look for?
Are the following my only choices?
- MP-F75W-01G
- MP-F75W-11G
- MP-F75W-12G
Thanks!

I haven't run into any incompatibility across the slightly different part numbers. Any of those should be fine, so long as it's an auto-inject drive. Technically, I think you can even use a manual-inject, but it'd be a bit difficult to insert and retrieve your floppy disk without the usual divot in the floppy slot.
800K would also work in a pinch, but you'd be limited to 800K floppy disks.
I suspect the differences in part numbers are just minor revisions over the years.

Just don't use manual inject drives.
