A quick glance at my spares shelf show a couple of 1016-II (SS 100 tpi,
black latch) I've used the 1015 drives also (blue latch). But if you're
looking to overcome the slowness of the stepper/leadscrew, get an 1115
(in whatever version you're looking for)--I happen to have a 96tpi DS
unit here It features a microcontroller implementing buffered seek.
(See bitsavers for detail). I think it was Micropolis' last hurrah in
floppy drives.

A testament to
the drive quality however, is that I have two such
systems using these drives and both still work flawlessly after 35
years.
