Subject: Mitsubishi 5.25 inch disk drive query
To: info-cpm@amsaa.arpa
Recently I have seen advertisements for Mitsubishi 5.25",
purportedly double sided 96 TPI drives for under $200.00. I have
a few questions:
1) Has anyone had any experience with these drives. Do they have
problems -- there must be a reason why they're so cheap.
2) Are they totally plug compatible with the Tandon TM-100-4 (which
my Zenith Z-90 uses).
3) What is the correct Mitsubishi model number for the double sided
96TPI drive (so I can verify what I order is what I think I'm ordering).
I'd also be glad to hear (impartial) recommendations for a particular
vendor to buy from.
Please respond to me, not the mailing list (I will honor summary
requests).
Thanks,
Sam Lipson
