I've been calling all over the Silicon Valley area trying to get a
replacement for the internal drive on my A1000.  No one has them and
CBM is back-ordered.

1.  Can I mail order these from anywhere?

2.  How compatible is the external drive with the internal one?  Can I
    swap the two for now without dire consequences?

3.  Could I buy a 3.5 inch diskette drive somewhere else and use it?
    I have heard that the ones in the Amiga are non-standard.

Any and all help appreciated.
