Most of the early Shugart SA400s were 35 track, instead of 40.
I had a Shugart SA450 on a PC, but for the life of me, I don't recall if I
bought it as a second drive or if it was the first one that came with the
machine. An unremarkable drive in any case. Perhaps the original drive
was a TM-100-1; I don't recall since I migrated to half-highs soon after
purchasing the system and added a Micropolis quad density (full height) in
the opened-up space.
