I have a look at a 'for parts/not working' external floppy disc drive acquired from eBay for my Atari STE and see what I can do with it.
0:00 Introduction
1:38 Disassembly
3:50 Deducing the PSU
8:50 Trying it out with a Gotek
14:05 Testing on the STE
16:05 Using a real floppy drive
18:14 Trying the shipped drive unit
22:30 Alternatives
30:45 Reassembly & outro
