Einleitung

The Macintosh IIsi came with a red-ribbon 1.44MB "SuperDrive" (and yes, just like DVD-Burning "SuperDrives" this was the best available option)

    • Start by turning the computer around, and remove this #0 Phillips Screw.

    • There may or may not be a Phillips #0 screw here, depending on whether or not the computer has ever been serviced.

    • Now lift these two clips, and slowly pivot the case up.

    • You can now seperate the top of the computer from the rest of the machine.

    • The "SuperDrive" is mounted similarly to the hard drive, and positioned right next to it.

    • Push these two tabs out, and lift the drive up.

    • Flip the drive so it is on top of the power supply, and remove the "Red-Ribbon" cable.

    • 1.44MB floppy drives need a ribbon cable with a red stripe on one side. 400KB floppy drives use a ribbon cable with a yellow stripe on one side. 800KB floppy drives can use a red, or yellow striped cable.

    • This drive was manufactured by Sony in 1990.

Abschluss

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
