BI-COLOR LED on Disk II Drive: Info needed

I will be speaking at KansasFest in July about hardware modifications to
the Disk II drive. I will show off drives that have (a) 3-position manual
override write-protect switch, and (b) front-panel speed adjustment knob.
But I have learned that the red "in use" LED can be replaced with a
green-red bi-color LED to show when the disk is being read vs. written.
The source is in a book about the IIe, but I regret that I do not have
the name or author of that book.
HELP!
(a) Could someone tell me the author and title of the IIE book that
descibes this modification?
(b) Could someone MAIL ME A PHOTOCOPY of the article so that I can add
this change to the "super Disk II" to be shown at KansasFest? All help
will be acknowledged in the docs-on-disk to be handed to attenders at
KansasFest. (Also, if the bi-color read-write LED is successful, it
will become yet another hacking service I will offer to readers of the Apple
net!)
Thanks.

[P.S. I am aware of the December 1983 issue of InCider that describes a
bi-color LED as a write-protect indicator. But I wish to use it as a
read-write indicator since I have manual override control over write
protect functions.]
