Hey - I recently picked up an MPC60 MK1 (again) and it was missing the floppy drive. I got a working floppy, but I need the bracket that attaches the drive to the MPC. Anyone have one? Or know where I could get one? (I know the chances are slim, but it doesn't hurt to ask. right?)

I had an MPC60II like that, sold it to another member here, and Jazzcat fixed that and supplied a floppy drive too. Not sure what he used but I think he made up custom brackets out of some dead samplers internal parts he had laying around his workshop.

Some people (mistakenly) throw the bracket in the trash when their floppy drive dies, because it's attached to the drive when they remove it. :? So if your drive needs replacing, YOU WILL NEED THE BRACKETS TO FIT ANOTHER 3.5 INCH DEVICE INTO THE DRIVE BAY!!!

Bracket looks like this, but there are two, screwed to the drive.

I've been searching for mounting brackets for a few years without any luck. They're pretty hard to come by.
