Hi,
Well, a diskette jammed in the PB 5300ce's drive last week,
and in addition to a spring or something broken or missing
on the eject mechanism, I seem to have knocked the upper
head out of alignment, so it's kaput (and the topic is
admittedly off-topic as the 5300 is a 1996 product).
Assuming no one has one, I'd really appreciate it if those
of you who come by such things on a fairly regular basis
would keep an eye out for one. They may be unique to the
5300, or may be used in one of the contemporaneous models.
I'm sure Shreve Systems likely has them, but their prices
vary widely, perhaps based on supply/demand, perhaps not.

The expansion bay drive modules should be the same between
the 190, 5300, and 3400. In fact the VST ZIP drive I use with my
5300c is actually marked 'ZIP3400' for the model.

The ACCRC most likely has stuff like this. Contact them at their UsedTech
site:
http://www.usedtech.org
It's a terrible site to navigate, but basically you dig through the
screens and find what you're after and then post a message to the forums
telling them what you want.
(Hint: most of the pictures are completely outdated. The best thing to do
is just go straight to the forums and tell them what you want and Alex
will go digging for it for you and then get back to you with a (very
reasonable) price.)
