I haven't checked yet but that makes me believe that maybe Michau might be able to take any FB-354 and use the PCB from the "C" version. Usually the drives had mechanical issues. Electronics in them was rather reliable. Other than that - if the CDTV drives have similar connector then they should be "somewhat" easier to spot than a "C65 drive" ;-)
