HOWEVER, although the "1.2m in XT" drive is the only Weltec that I really
remember, this doesn't seem to be it! The manual says 300/360 RPM.
The drive described is a normal 1.2M

Betcha that Al K. would like that one for

their systems for 3.5 HD floppies (i.e. not raise the bridge, but
lowered the water).
