- A few weeks ago, I posted a message saying that I heard that a Model 2
- owner had replaced his 8" drives with 3-1/2" drives with no
- modifications. Another user wrote me saying that this information was
- incorrect, and after some research to verify this, 3-1/2" floppies will
- NOT work on your M2 without extensive modifications. The drive
- connectors are different (by 16 contacts) and the M2 8" drives rotate at
- 360rpms as compaired to the 300rmps used by the 3-1/2" drives.
