I have a disk floppy drive that is supposed to be inside a Yamaha VL7 synthesizer. Not many were made, and the question is: could it be other stuff I could find a similar floppy drive that work?

I have tried to change the drive belt, that didn't work. I have also cleaned it, no success too. I am not shure what more I can do. I do not want a USB-stick replacement, but keep it as original as possible. Maybe there are other similar, that goes under different name, and could be easyer to find on eBay?

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Hello,

Perhaps you can use the info on this page to use a shugart floppy in the system:
