Re: SFD-1001 disk mechanisms?

Popping off the casing of the SFD I have and noting how packed
everything is (to get at the frame work mounting screws you need to
remove the PCB), decided to take the easy route...

The front of the drive looks different then any of the 1541s or 2031's
I've seen so I figure this is a good starting place,

Below is an ascii representation of the front of the drive (the #s
represent the gate as down, and the /s is the most recessed area), note
the LED for the drive is in the upper right quadrant.
