I've recently gotten into the hobby of collecting and experimenting with old PCs, but have almost no experience with anything this old. I'm pretty familiar with stuff from the 90s and later, but the inside of the PC XT is completely foreign to me. I got one a month ago from someone looking to make space in their home, and everything works but the floppy disk drive. Because of this, I have no way of transferring files to or from the system. I have no idea if it's the drive itself, or something on the motherboard. As I said, I'm completely new to systems this old. For all I know, something could just be loose inside the case, but I have no idea where to start due to the completely different interior compared to modern systems. What should I do first?
