Subject: Mitsubishi 5.25 inch disk drive query

       Recently I have seen advertisements for Mitsubishi 5.25",
purportedly double sided 96 TPI drives for under $200.00.  I have
a few questions:

       1)  Has anyone had any experience with these drives.  Do they have
problems -- there must be a reason why they're so cheap.

       2)  Are they totally plug compatible with the Tandon TM-100-4 (which
my Zenith Z-90 uses).

       3)  What is the correct Mitsubishi model number for the double sided
96TPI drive (so I can verify what I order is what I think I'm ordering).

       I'd also be glad to hear (impartial) recommendations for a particular
vendor to buy from.

       Please respond to me,  not the mailing list (I will honor summary
requests).

       Thanks,

       Sam Lipson
