So I decided to open the miggy (btw, it's a Rev 1D.1, it's a good rev?) and see the drive with my own eyes.
Here are some pics:

Is this drive good, or it'll have incompatibilities like the Escom A1200s, which had PC drives in them?
Seeing I've also got a real Amiga drive from my old A600 (a Teac one) it'd be better to put that in? I recall it had a lot of difficulties reading some floppies of mine, but if it's more compatible, then I guess it's still better.
Also another question... will this drive read HD formatted floppies?
Thanks

Hi Jbenam,
What is the model and revision of the Floppy drive.. looks like a Mitsumi ?
