I would be incredibly grateful if anyone having success at this e-mail me some
insight.  I am having a devil of a time dealing with timing.  The 3.5s rotate
at 300 rpm and the 8s (and 5.25 hds) rotate at 360rpm.  My system is a Zenith
Z-100 and I'm using a stock Z-207 floppy (5.25 & 8) controller.

Many thanks!!!
