Bill, I think it is the H-17 floppy disk system.... there is nothing attached to the blue ribbon on your photo's....
Didn't you write about this earlier?

I don't think I wrote about it in any detail, but anything is possible. Hopefully I didn't write about the answer.

And no, you didn't get it right yet. The H-17 floppy disk system, more specifically the floppy disk interface, is not a necessary component of the system to function. It works just fine without it, though it's nice to have, particularly with an SVD. The blue ribbon is attached to a card that is marked in the photo when you look at it full size.
