I remember a while back that Sony was coming out with a high capacity floppy drive. It would be something like 200 times the storage as a typical 1.44 floppy. I have heard that it is easy to swap out the floppy on the 2000 if the drive should be faulty. I have done this on many PCs and seems a pretty easy thing to do. I don't know if the pin (plug in) is the same for an off-the-shelf floppy drive but if it is and the High Capacity ones are compatible it seems that you could do-it-yourself. I am a do-it-myself type person (I built my own house with my own 2 hands (see my URL)) and have put together computers from scratch as well. I will try to do some research and see if this can be used.
