On the underside of the disk release latch (on the faceplate), a
small silver sticker. Most say "100 TPI DSR", but about one in every
4 says "96 TPI DSR". All drives are 100 TPI TM-100-4Ms, BTW as
identified on the body sticker.
I have a few 100tpi Tandons (TM100-4M), that do not have a tpi sticker,
and that are clearly labeled TM100-4 (NOT 'M'!) on the body sticker. Did
somebody piece together a bunch of random parts? Or was Tandon really
sloppy about labels?
