The New Teac 3.2mb Disk Drives

After recently adding a GOLD CARD to my QL system | began to think about taking advantage of the ability to use the new EXTRA HIGH DENSITY (ED) disk drives. Armed with my back issues of IQLR, I picked up a couple of computer magazines and started looking at ads that featured the 2.88 MB drives for PC compatibles. In a MIDWEST MICRO ad they listed TEAC drives for $89.00 US.

The articles in IQLR stated that the four digits after the FD235J were the key to making sure the drive would work with the GOLD CARD. Before ordering, I called MIDWEST MICRO’s technical hotline to verify that the drive they were selling had the proper model number. The technical rep assured me that they were, so I placed an order for the new disk drive, as well as a box of ten ED diskettes. Three days later, the package arrived with my new drive and diskettes.
