Zaxon replied me with the following :

 

Drive is intact, drive number is set by jumpers on my XF551 board. http://www.eightbitclone.com/xfwew.html

kheller2 is correct.  I see the Atari drive ID jumpers.   But I need to know how to set the drive number itself.

That is a nice drive, but UGLY. Too big. As far as the DS jumpers on the drive go, just put a solder blob between the drive1 and drive0 pins on the connector.

It reminds me of the B&C 810 drives if you got the version with the B&C case.

The drive hasn't has been modified, originally the PCB came with a diskdrive with a black bezel, the bezel which is very fragile on these laptop floppydrives broke after I handled incorrectly.

 

I bought myself the same stock laptop NEC type floppydrive in "yellowed" white and used that one with the PCB so again no modifications were made to the floppydrive, if I understand the questions correctly.

Are the outside case dimensions close to that of an XF551? If I can’t locate mine during my search Sunday or Monday, and in lieu of paying $200 for one, this may be my next best bet. If the dimensions are pretty close I have a friend that is very good at airbrushing that owes me a favor; maybe it would look pretty good.
