IBM PS/2 Model 70 or compatible floppy drive wanted (Or help with current one?)

[Gary Sparkes]

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.
