Flip the drive so it is on top of the power supply, and remove the "Red-Ribbon" cable.
1.44MB floppy drives need a ribbon cable with a red stripe on one side. 400KB floppy drives use a ribbon cable with a yellow stripe on one side. 800KB floppy drives can use a red, or yellow striped cable.
This drive was manufactured by Sony in 1990.

Excellent pictures and easy guide! Thank you very much. My IISI floppy drive started flawlessly after 25y and the disk could be read. however it did it just once. Then I could not eject it any more. It did not work anymore. Can I replace it with a Sony MPF 920E? What type of cableadapter do I need

Generally these old Macs only work with Apple style floppy drives, they use both a different cable and signaling standard than PC drives. If your drive isn't ejecting your best bet is to either replace it with a similar 1.44MB "SuperDrive", or service the drive. There are some good videos floating around the web about how to repair and maintain these old drives, and it isn't actually too hard to disassemble and clean them.
