On the underside of the disk release latch (on the faceplate), a
small silver sticker. Most say "100 TPI DSR", but about one in every
4 says "96 TPI DSR". All drives are 100 TPI TM-100-4Ms, BTW as
identified on the body sticker.
Perhaps there's not *that* much difference between 96tpi and 100tpi?
Possibly within the margin of error of the mechanism?
