Title: Chinon-FZ357 RevB (Not FZ-357A)
Post by: trip6 on April 26, 2008, 05:59:24 AM

Hello I just picked up a drive marked FZ-357 on top it says RevB. I know the FZ-357A will work as a high density drive, will this drive work as a high density drive also? Anybody know the difference between the two? Thanks...

I've gotten 2 floppydrives in my A4000T an 357A and an 357B, I haven't noticed any difference between them, they both read both DD and HD floppy disks :)

The A4000D had only one floppy that had a larger than normal faceplate and space for another floppy drive, but that one had to have a regular size faceplate to fit.  I wonder if the skinny one could be the rev.B model?

Nah, that sounds really stupid, it must be time to get some sleep, as I am not thinking anymore. :oops:

I have an rev A and a rev B drive next to each other in my A4000T, they look alike except that the front cover of the rev A is in a brighter colour plastic than the rev B one.
