I've got a -4A with a sticker on the door latch which says 96tpi. Do these
also come in 100?

I've hunted around on the web to no avail...
Can anybody give me the specs on these?
Thanks,

At one point, the 100 TPI was nominally TM 100-4M. I'm guessing that the
'M' derived from "Micropolis", the originator of the 100 TPI drives
that
the -4M would be suitable for replacing.
But I have a drive that was sold new as a -4M on which I can find no trace
of an 'M'.
Can we assume that a -3 wopuld be a 96TPI SS?

Based on the numbering sequence, I'd say that was a reasonable
assumption.
