The real problem is that it uses HARD-SECTOR 5.25" diskettes, which are just
about impossible to find.

Yes, you can use a PC compatible 5.25" 360k drive, if it's jumpered
properly. 
Correct!  I'm using FD55BV (half height 48tpi two side) and they work fine
for either SD or DD.  The official drive for SD version was SA400 (35 track)
and for DD SA400L or TM100 as by then both were the standard.
