Vintage Synth Repair

Well, It may never work but I have been reading the tech notes of a computer nut who managed to do this with an old computer that was only setup with the quick disc or mini floppy disc media drive. 

I am looking into it now. If anyone has a unit that needs a replacement floppy drive let me know I may have an answer.
