This is how it shipped from the factory. Note the fact that the floppy
drive has a ribbon cable instead of a regular FDD connection .... this is,
from every picture i've seen, how they came. I
would need another Alps or
similar FDD that has the same ribbon cable connector
instead of a standard
FDD connector in order to replace it using the pre-existing bracket.

Ah, just so we're all on the same page
here.... The drive i'm looking for
seems to be "extra" special.... mine's got a ribbon cable connecting it to
the card edge connector .... same connector as these two pictured drives
but slightly different configuration. Apparently the drives shown are
compatible, however -

Mine is like this one -

This looks like an adapter has already been installed possibly.
