Apple IIC+ OH NOES! My internal floppy eject mechanism has failed. I had to remove the little motor assembly that pushes the internal eject lever, and now I push that manually when I want to remove a floppy. (I push the eject button, which is wired to the motherboard, wait a moment, then push the mechanical lever to physically eject the disk) The motor assembly has a gear that has disintegrated.

    I think they are likekly to be different - the mechanism on a Mac can hold more per disk. There is a picture of a Mac drive and it looks different than the drive inside the shield of my Apple IIC+ internal drive.
