The drives are Sony 70s (80tr, 2 side, 782kb format). They are
older PC drives from the time when
3.5" floppies had a drive select switch or jumper like the 5.25 units
did. Very reliable too.
Rats. Finding 720k drives these days is nearly impossible and when
you can find them, the seller prices them as if they're made from
palladium and coated with unicorn tears.

The standard 1.44 drives also do 720k. Just use the right media with
the hole in the right place.
