Have you tried contacting the mfg? They're still selling drives.

Perhaps a look at the archive will help you out. I can't imagine that this
has gone unanswered for the several years since the first mention I saw.
I'll do some more digging but a quick search found nothing. Discussions
about YE Data usually refer to the use of their 5 1/4" drives in early IBM
PCs.

them as well,
though they may be more difficult/intractible.
I contacted them bia their website. I got their reply today. This has
got to be a classic!
"This model(YD-180) is many specification so that we couldn't answer.
