Anyone have Shugart 460VR / SA460 docs? Is a 460VR
the same thing as
a SA460? The drive in my Intel iPDS says Model No. 460VR. Could it
be functionally replaced by an original IBM PC full height 5.25 drive?
The drive from the iPDS has jumpers on both DS1 and DS4 installed. I
wonder why that is?
Herb Johnson has 460 OEM docs. From what I do remember, the 460 is a
96 tpi drive (720K), which means that you're not going to be able to
replace it with a FH SA450 (360K) drive.
Heaven only knows what the suffix means--could be a variation on the
face plate or could mean something like a head-load solenoid and/or
door lock. If you don't see evidence of either, try a plain old 720K
drive of any size (e.g. 3.5").
