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 [ARPA] slipson@bbncd [UUCP] {decvax,wjhl2,ihnp4,linus,wivax,ima}!bbncca!slipson
