Yup, it sure is

Yeah, I'd rather have put a 3.5" drive with it but at the moment I have about
20 IIgs boxes that are in need of floppy drives. I'm finding it quite hard to
locate these parts in the UK :(

Necessary and much easier :)

No, it JUST fits into thr main opening

yeah, I don't think this should be a problem on any II's

I removed the original ones and replaced them with some motherboard spacers
from an old PC. I just glued them on to the base board in the right position
:)

PS. I was original toying with the idea of putting a Mac LC475 into the IIe
