This thing is already a pain in the neck to work on. The board is held on by this screw which cannot be removed without also removing the plastic back
Alright, so the front and the white half of the drive bay is one plastic piece.
And underneath are plastic clips (red) as well as metal rods (blue). Once this thing snaps into place it's near impossible to take it apart again non destructively. Oh and the PSU is riveted in place.

Despite the absolutely proprietary nature of the PS/2 line, internally the floppy drives look fairly ordinary. Aside from the connector and form factor. They even have a drive ID jumper. What use is that in a PC compatible?
This was loose inside. Any idea where it goes?

I created a reference diskette (the drive is 720k only btw), but it only briefly spins up. A friend with the same drive said the electrolytics on the spindle motor pcb were leaking on his. So I guess that's an issue on mine too.
