Hi,
I recently picked up a Kaypro II and am planning on getting bits to some media. Does anyone have recommendations for a 5.25" drive? I'll be using it with ImageDisk/22DISK in a PC. I hear the 1.2M 5.25" drives can work if you manually change the rotation speed, however the track width is very narrow. As a result, floppies need to be bulk erased (if used) and possibly even copied again (using second drive) when in the Kaypro II. Just wondering if I would be safe with the 1.2M version since all the SSDD drives are around $40 each on Ebay.
Thanks
