Hi Simon,

Hope this helps; http://www.retro.dial.pipex.com/fddbboot/ These are the original adverts for that drive.

From the cutaway in image1 it looks like there is no internal PSU, likely an external 9v pack. The easiest way would be to open it up and have a look inside. There should be a 7805 regulator, but you will need a PSU capable of delivering about 750mA or more, in experience these drives don't work too well with much less doing things like jittering when revving up.

Aly
