Hard vs soft is a controller issue, not a drive issue (at least for
non-customized drives like those found in the Commodore 4040, et al.)
The drive has to have a sensor for the index hole. The Tandom TM-100
series does. It is ignored in most applications.

That would be the case. It is the exact model used in the first IBM PCs
and XTs. My Kaypro II has a pair of TM-100-1As.
