ST floppy drive ejects without disk


Recommended Posts

Hi all - I just picked up a used ST and the floppy drive (with wide rhombus shaped eject button) has a minor issue I'd like to resolve. The floppy drive's default position is as if there is a disk inserted. If I pushed the eject button (no floppy in drive), the button goes in for a few seconds, and then it pops back out as if a disk has been inserted. This doesn't affect the performance really, it's just to use the floppy drive, I have to push the eject button, then quickly insert the disk. Is there a guide on these drives that explains the spring/load mechanism so I can troubleshoot? I've looked around a bit can't find much. Thanks!
