Well, if you do get stuck with an SF354, you can easily upgrade it by swapping
the floppy disk drive unit with an EPSON SMD-180 double sided unit. This makes
a reasonable alternative to trying to swap or otherwise get rid of the single-
sided drive, especially if you got stuck with a 'package deal'.
Obvoiously, this would void the warranty on the drive, and you also might
need to make a group purchase on the EPSON drives to get a good price, but
those single-sided drives are pretty worthless....
