I'm confused then. I thought you wrote in another post that there could be some issues reading marginal discs with a 96TPI drive? Maybe I read that wrong though and you were talking about writing which would make more sense as the width of the written track would be narrower and much harder for a 360K drive to read. I guess if that is the case I would only need the 360K drive for writing?
I also was a bit in error, I have a JU-475-4. I don't think that matters much though as the -3, -4, -5 seem to be the same mech with different control PCBs. The first one I got a hold of was a -3 which was in rough shape but after some cleaning/lubrication worked, all except for the fact that the top head is bad and chews up the disc
. Thanks!
