The original poster asked for 720K drives for a
"GE Workmaster"?? Is
THAT 5.25" "quad density" or 3.5"?
135 TPI, 250Kbps.
The original GE Workmaster was pretty much an IBM 5155 PC in GE's
ruggized case with a proprietary keyboard. The disk drives are, IIRC,
half-height 3.5" 720K drives (not 1/3 or 1/6 height as are most modern
3.5" drives). I've got a couple of old NEC or Mitsubishi half-heights of
that era that might work. Both are belt-driven, rather than direct
drive.
You used to be able to get Teac FD-235Fs in a half-height package; I've
got a 235HF that way, but it's been a long time since I've seen another.
Did anyone ever sell 3.5" 1/3 height to 3.5" half-height adapters?
