Dear Ian
I've been through the bits cupboard, and found some Panasonic JU-253-073P
drives. They are 720K, and do have a drive select switch, 0-3. I can't find
the data sheet, though I know I have used them with BBC's in the past. I
think there might be a 'drive ready' link that may need to be made on some
drives.
They were all tested when stored, I could test one again, and let you have
it to try out. If you want a pair you'll have to come up with a swap item
because I only have 5 left, and they also work in some old MIDI sequencers
and samplers, and I kept them for spares
Let me know if that's of interest.
Mike
