We've happily used two Micropolis drives.  We run AOS, if it matters.
The drives we've used are

	model 1355	(8 heads, 170.6MB unformatted)
	model 1558-15	(15 heads, 382.3MB unformatted)

They seem to support both hard and soft sectoring; I don't have the jumper
info at hand but I think what you need is soft sectoring, with 36 sectors
per track.  Anyway, we've used those two drives with EESDI controllers.
I'm sure there are others that work too.
