  I cannot be certain (the old human ROM is failing) which model
corresponds to which, but the Panasonic drive mentioned was also
marketed as a Shugart drive.
  I seem to recall that the Panasonic 455 MIGHT be a SS/QD drive.
  DO NOT HOLD ME TO THIS!
  F'rinstance.  I have the manual for the Shugart 455/465 drives,
and the 455 is a DS/DD, and the 465 is a DS/QD.  (455 is DD-40tpi,
465 is DD-80tpi.)
  I believe the Panasonic version of the Shugart 465, was marketed
as their model 475.
  Confusing, eh?
