On Atari Mega 2s, the two I have come across has bad internal floppy 
drives. And they're really cool looking, so no desire to replace with a 
generic PC one (that will work, but not fit the plastic.) So I opted on 
mine to add an ultrasatan board mounted to the RF shield internally, with 
the SD card exposed on the back where the epansion board cover is. I used 
an external floppy to copy software to the SD card on the ultrasatan.

My friend landed a Mega 2 as well, and his drive was bad as well. I 
haven't attempted to repair yet but it might be worthwhile to figure out 
what the failure is on these rarities.
