I'm trying to hook up any off the shelf IBM type 5.25 drive to my ST but I
was wondering which drives will hook directly up with out having to add
any 1k ohm resistor to the step line, or having to worry about my yamaha
chip getting wiped out.  So far I've heard that a Tandon T100 will work, but
they're not made anymore.  Does anybody else know of a drive that will work?
