[net.micro.cpm] 5 1/4" floppy drives - question

temin@ut-sally.UUCP (Aaron Temin) (08/14/86)

I've got an Actrix running CP/M with sssd TEK FB-501
5 1/4" drives.  I'd like to find dsdd drives to plug in.
I know that TEK FB-503 drives are ok, but can't find
any listed for sale in a recent Byte.  Can anyone out there
tell me where I might buy them, or what other drives might
be compatible?

More generally, what is the difference between various
5 1/4" floppy drives (some are advertised for IBM's, some
for Apple's, etc)?

Many thanks in advance,
Aaron
