news my end but plan to speak to seller and visit system towards end of
week. I know at least a couple of you have emailed me privately; sorry for
not responding but will update ASAP. I'd *like* to claim it for the
Corestore but there are shipping costs and logistics issues.
I wonder if IBM disks of this era care about line frequency? Do they have
50hz vs 60hz spindles like RK05s....

The diskette drive and the 10MB disk are both driven by AC motors so
they would be sensitive to line frequency, however I am sure that IBM
did make pulleys for 50Hz.
