A quick glance at my spares shelf show a couple of 1016-II (SS 100 tpi, black latch) I've used the 1015 drives also (blue latch). But if you're looking to overcome the slowness of the stepper/leadscrew, get an 1115 (in whatever version you're looking for)--I happen to have a 96tpi DS unit here It features a microcontroller implementing buffered seek. (See bitsavers for detail). I think it was Micropolis' last hurrah in floppy drives. --Chuck
