If this is the drive I think it is (soft sectored, with electric
disk eject), you can throw the thing out the window.  We had
several of these both by themselves and in CROMEMCO Z-80 systems.
After about 25 hours of operation the bearings started going on
the drives.  They started getting noisier and noisier until one
day the heads load and the speed control can't take it anymore and
the drive stops turning.  The drives were also fond of unformatting
themselves on numerous occasions.
