Try to arrange a swap for an M0131 800K drive from someone in Europe.
The 800K drives are still common and cheap whereas the 400K drive could
make a Mac 128 or 512k owner very happy. Anyway, you can't transplant a
later mechanism into the 400K drive to use on the IIgs as the 400K
drive case does not contain the extra circuit that manages manual disk
ejections.
