Hi,
I am restoring a Vector Graphic computer and am investigating using some non-standard (ie 96tpi rather than 100tpi) floppy disk drives on it. I understand disks generated as a result of using these style drives will be incompatible with the normal 100tpi drives.
The 5.25" HD floppy drives I had have all proven to be either incompatible single speed units or dead/broken.
To move this project along I would like to purchase some of the dual speed compatible 5.25" HD floppy drives. If you would please review your cache of old IBM PC/XT/AT compatible 5.25" 1.2 MB HD floppy drives for the following models which are known dual speed (300/360 RPM) capable:
TEAC FD55
Panasonic JU475
Mitsubishi MF504
Mitsumi D509
NEC FD1157
Toshiba ND08
Epson SD680
There are likely others I may have missed. Please feel free to include those as well. If you find any you are willing to sell me please email or PM me with the specific model number so we can discuss.
Thank you in advance.
