I just replaced the Floppy on my Trinity Plus with one out of an old PC. Can I do that with my Triton Classic??? Anyone out there done that??? Beuller??
I see ones advertised on eBay for both Triton and Trinity, so I
think it should work. Again, anyone replaced their factory floppy drive with a PC drive???
Thanx!!! JP

Just wanted to resurrect this thread to get an answer. Will any old PC floppy drive fit into (and work for) a Triton Classic? No "calibration" or drives needed? Mine's busted and you can practically get a PC floppy drive for free nowadays...Thanks!

Hi. Have you installed the standard PC disk drive in your Triton yet? Did it work without any hitches?

Replaced my broken floppy drive with an old PC drive and after a few cleaning runs, it worked like a charm. I was able to update and reload the factory files. I also successfully saved files to it
BTW, I noticed that the old PC floppy drive's power and data connections are reversed compared to the stock Triton drive. When facing the back of stock Triton drive, the power connection is on the right and data connection is on the left, while the old PC drive's power connection is on the left and data connection is on the right. In addition, the data connection has 17 pins on the top row while the bottom row only has, I believe, 5 to 7. Even so, after installing the old PC drive and cleaning the internal mechanism with a disk cleaner, the drive was recognized and the machine read the floppy data correctly.
Internal HD or replace floppy drive to PC or scsi drive?
