:MY opinion!

I, too, am in need of an internal floppy for my A2000 (the original finally
gave out).  I have seen the Chinon drive at Abel Supply for $71, but don't
know if it meets these criteria:

1.  MUST be the exact same color as my A2000.
2.  Must have a door on the front (dust killed my previous drive)
3.  Must be a good, solid ,preferably quiet drive

Are there any that meet these criteria?  Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Joel
