Our group is in desperate need of working Mitsubishi M4854 disk drives; the 1.2MB, 5 1/4" drives with the 8"-lookalike electronics. Of the two we have, one is on the fritz (possibly head alignment), so repair info would be appreciated, but we REALLY need a total of three working drives. Mitsubishi's California headquarters says "Use the MF504A instead." We say "It's not 100% compatible." They say "Tough." Additional info: these drives are for use on a Pulsar Electronics (from Australia) Z80 cpu card with built-in disk controller (Western Digital FD1797, but there's more to it than that). If you know of a source of these drives or a KNOWN GOOD repair service, feel free to CALL COLLECT - I work for the Right Choice. Please note that this message is being WIDELY cross-posted. My apologies to those offended by this practice. -- Wilson H. Bent, Jr. ... ihnp4!hoh-2!whb AT&T - Bell Laboratories (201) 949-1277 Disclaimer: My company has not authorized me to issue a disclaimer.
