Panasonic JU-257A606P - filament - 02-07-2021

Hello,

I ordered my SuperCard Pro and it's on the way.
Meanwhile, I got this old floppy disk drive (Panasonic JU-257A606P), and I was wondering whether you could tell me if there's a chance it will work with SCP?

I found the drive's specifications here:

Regards,

It should work just fine. I have not actually found any disk drive that does not work. Some are better than others for weakbits, Macintosh writing, etc. but everything seems to work (which I would expect).

Thanks for the answer Jim. Have a good day

For people who might be looking for a definite answer - the drive works flawlessly with SCP, as predicted by Jim.

Thanks for the info! I will add that to the list of known good drives.
