Remember you have to use drives with an ST506 interface in a Megafile 20.
By the way, in Germany, there has never been something like a Megafile 20.
Is this the same as the old SH205?

Back to the original question: Any ST506 MFM drive should work. HDX can
be customized to handle the new drive by inserting a drive description#
into the WINCAP file.
