Inserting floppy disk and closing drive latch

Inserting a 5.25-inch floppy disk into a Micropolis 1053 I MetaFloppy floppy-disk drive. That's the sliding sound at the beginning. The second knock-knock type of sound is the press-down-and-hook drive latch being closed. The Micropolis 1053 is a two-drives unit for S-100 bus early computers. This sound was recorded on the upper floppy-drive.
