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.
