MV-8000 floppy drive
I am using the MV8000, but I am looking to upgrade the internal floppy to something that reads sd or compact flash. Has anyone done this successfully and where did you find the drives or components...
Re: MV-8000 floppy drive
As for the floppy, there isn't another form of hardware to replace it. it's got a weird ribbon cable.
You can add a CF card reader but you won't be able to use the hard drive. The MV accepts one or the other but not both.

I did upgrade on my MV-8000. Removed floppy drive, and installed a Compact Flash to IDE adapter in the same location as floppy.
See YouTube video below how to upgraded on MV-8800.
