Subject: Info wanted: Mitsubishi M4854 drives

Our group is in desperate need of working Mitsubishi M4854 disk drives;
the 1.2MB, 5 1/4" drives with the 8"-lookalike electronics.  Of the two
we have, one is on the fritz (possibly head alignment), so repair info
would be appreciated, but we REALLY need a total of three working drives.

Mitsubishi's California headquarters says "Use the MF504A instead."
We say "It's not 100% compatible."  They say "Tough."

Additional info: these drives are for use on a Pulsar Electronics (from
Australia) Z80 cpu card with built-in disk controller (Western Digital
FD1797, but there's more to it than that).

If you know of a source of these drives or a KNOWN GOOD repair service,
feel free to CALL COLLECT - I work for the Right Choice.

Please note that this message is being WIDELY cross-posted.  My apologies
to those offended by this practice.
