The biggest issue I see is density and number of
sides. As I
recall, the two sided have a different location for the index
hole( at least I think it is the sides, not density ). The SA800
and SA900's are single sided single density drives.
That's correct--DS media has the index aperture at about the 2
o'clock position, where SS media has the aperture at about 1 o'clock.
Some drives will happily write and read both sides of SS media;
others will disable access to the second side.
All of which is why I said that a SA850-compatible drive will
probably do the job just fine and have signals that a PeeCee
controller can deal with.
