So, I'm faced with a bunch of 360k floppy drives.
One of them I will put
in my main desktop machine for replicating floppies for, say, my C64,
Kaypro, etc. What should I look for when choosing such a drive? The best
specimen I have right now was taken from a Morrow Micro-Decision.
According to the tag, it's a "TEC FB-503". Can someone tell me something
about this?
By the way, I have an IBM-branded full-height Tandon that I will trade for
the "ideal" half-height.
My favorite for "360K" formats is the Tandon Tm100.
It tends to work better with flux-transition boards than any of the
others.
Are you sure that you want to try to do C64 on your PC?
TEC is OK, but I prefer the TEAC 55B for 360K, and 55FG for 720k/1.2M.
