Yes, 1/3rd height, with a push
button on the front (not the more common lever lock).
They were also used in the QX10, and the techincal

I believe that
the TF20 was usable with the QX10 using the extra parallel interface on the back. If you
have the schematics for the drive that sounds like it would be useful.
However, 320K DSDD sounds like a 40 cylinder format to
me. Are you > sure a PC 360K drive can't read them?
Not sure, as the only
5.25" drives I have access to are the two epson ones in the TF20. Hence the interest
in hooking them up to a PC ;) The drives are definitely 40 cylinder.
