Broken but probably an easy fix. Also don't think putting a Winchester drive in a portable is terribly wise but nevermind that. It'll be a NEC D5126 drive - I'd put money on it.
I don't think I'd make enough use out of it, hence why I haven't clicked buy now.
It's not super cheap, but not outrageous either.

Tempting, but I'm not sure I need a second dead 5155 so soon after getting a second dead SX-64.
