For MOST situations, MOST 1.2M drives can be configured as a
substitute. You want to keep the rotational speed at 300RPM, but go to
the 96TPI step, and keep the write current at the "360K" level.
However, using the "right" drive is always a little easier.
Do you need full height or half height?
For full height, my favorite is the Tandon TM100-4. (If you run into
TM100-4M, set them aside - those are 100TPI instead of 96TPI!)
For half height, I like the Shugart/Panasonic 465, although not everyone
is happy with those.
