* Insertion mechanism simplification. The floppy now rotate around the insertion slot toward the floppy drive mechanism. The external visual impact is a slimmer insertion slot.
* Index detection led uses a small PCB mounted on the loading mechanism.
* <span style="color:#FF0000">The write protection sensing is done using a [[Writepin|switch / pin assembly]].</span>
<div style="clear: both"></div>
* New head motor with a smaller diameter screw.
* Main PCB (Z80264) is 50% smaller than previous version. It cannot be fully removed without de-soldering some wires or un-mounting index sensor and track 0 sensor. Track 0 sensor has to be calibrated when mounted.
* <span style="color:#FF0000">The write protection sensing is done using a [[Writepin|switch / pin assembly]].</span>

* White face to match Plus range coulor.
