Just following up to my own posting. . .

I have a new drive, an FD-55FV, which is a real quad density.  It goes nicely
just in case anyone cares about this type of thing.  I was told by the TEAC
local guru that it is possible to strap an FD-55GFR (1.2M) to act like a Quad.
Although I have not received the docs in the mail yet. Anyways . . .
They are really quiet as well!
