Thanks.  Might make me get back to writing part 2 like I have been promising.

Most newer 16B and almost all 6000's had the shield, but some older machines
could really use them.  The shield was mainly used to keep noise from the
monitor and power supply from jamming the head amps on the drives.

In any event, now you know why Tandon isn't making floppy drives anymore.
"Shielding?  What's that?" is a registered trademark of Tandon.
