microdrive screw

I would like to take my Microdrive apart . . . but apparently they uses
a special three-point screw. Does anyone know where I can get
screwdriver for these? A picture of this special screw is located he

Any insight is appreciated. Thanks.

I'd try a cheap set of jewellers screwdrivers and find one which fits enough...

Failing that, try one of these:

That tool is only for fine adjustments. One application and you are
guaranteed to never have any more problems with the item in question. Very
satisfying too, almost primal.

Google for Tri-wing driver to the store or vendor of your choice.

Take it to a watch repair place that has an on-site shop. With any
luck you'll find a counter guy that's curious enough to want to see
what's in there, too. Short of that, google for watchmakers supplies
and see it you can find the riight tool.

I've disassembled several generations of disk drives out of
curiousity. The most recent was a 2.5 inch laptop drive. The oldest
that I still have is a Fujitsu Eagle, 80's vintage, (and a really
popular model) that is 30 pounds of machined aluminum and chromed
platters. Now it's a classy bookend.
