The drive is a 80 track LOW-capacity 5 1/4" drive.  It may be worth your
while to replace it with a 80 track low-capacity 3 1/2" drive.  They
look identical to software, and all that would be necessary is a 5->3
cable converter or similar adapter.

You can also use a 5 1/4" 80TK DSHD (hi-cap 1.2Meg) drive *IF* it has a strap
on it to change the motor speed from 360 RPM to 300 RPM.  These are
drives are pretty easy to obtain and cost $90-$100.

If you really want a 5 1/4" 80TK DSDD drive, it will probably cost
around $80, if you can find one as it is not a common drive anymore.
