I just bought an SF354 single sided external FDD. How easy is it to turn this into a double sided unit?

Can you simply replace the drive inside with a PC drive?

I don't even know if there is a "fdd" inside as I know one.

Edit : Google is your friend

It depends upon the unit. Some will have a daughterboard with a Chinon special connector to the floppy drive and some will have a Shugart compatible one. It's pot luck which one you'll get with a long button version. Short button versions are more likely to be Shugart.
