   I've Taken A Double Sided ST Drive Mech Salvaged From A Dead ST & Inserted It   
   Into An SF354 And Made It Work! The Important Thing Is To Get One With A   
   Matching Eject Button! I've Also Replaced The Defective Internal Drive In My   
   Mega ST With A Drive Mech From An SF314! =-=Ben=-=
