Removing the existing drive
sy99 disk Three self-tapping screws hold the floppy disk drive assembly (drive plus bracket) in place.

The three highlighted circles show the positions of the screws that I removed and placed in the box lid for safekeeping.

sy99 disk The screw nearest the end cheek (highlighted at the bottom of this picture) is at the bottom of a narrow channel, and so I used a screwdriver with a blob of blu-tak on the end to make sure that I didn't lose the screw.

I'm always cautious about using screwdrivers which are magnetised, and I prefer to use blu-tak instead.

sy99 disk The four black screws on the bracket highlighted here are the ones which fasten the floppy drive onto the bracket.

Removing them does not help at this stage - so I didn't!
