We have had many 3 1/2 diskette drive failures lately. Siemens Resale has replacement disk drives - for $995. I wonder if anyone has used an alternative such as this for I think $400 + the USB drive cost -

If not I wonder if there is any other replacement media for the diskette drive? We've got the older (blue eject button) and newer diskette drives.
