Removing The Diskette Drive - Sun Microsystems SPARCstation 5 Service Manual

The diskette drive is located under the CD-ROM drive, adjacent to the power supply.
In order to remove or install the diskette drive, you must first remove the CD-ROM
drive if it is present. Figure 9–7 shows the locations of both drives.
The diskette drive is not a SCSI device. Some of the other drives in your system are
SCSI devices—such as the CD-ROM drive and the hard disk drives. The diskette
drive connects to an 8-bit internal bus in the SPARCstation 5 system.
