In Teac drives, A seems to be 48tpi single sided, B
48tpi double sided

don't know whether D or E is 96tpi single sided.\
Whereas, on Tandon drives, -1 is 48tpi SS, -2 is 48tpi DS, -3 is 96tpi SS,
and -4 is 96tpi DS. (-4M is 100tpi (Micropolis))
Did anyone ever attempt to make a list of floppy drives by vendor/model, in
a similar way to the lists for ST506/412-type hard drives which used to be
floating around years ago? I don't remember seeing one, but that doesn't
mean to say that such an animal didn't exist.
(I have seen partial lists, but typically for one or two vendors as used on
one or a small handful of systems, nothing comprehensive)
