[comp.periphs] replacement for 6000 Tandon thinline 8" drives?

Hello Tandy hackers,

I picked up a couple of NEC FD1165A 8" drives very cheap at a clearance
sale.  They came off a NEC APC I. They have the standard 50 pin header
and take +5 and +24 supplies. Does anybody know if they are suitable as
replacements for the Tandon thinlines on the 6000/16B?

Thanks in advance.

The Tandon, Shugart, CDC, and TPI drives were pretty much interchangable
on those systems, so I suspect your NEC also is.  I'd check pinouts to 
be sure.
