Anyone ever use the IBM YE-580 DS DD 360K 1/2 height drive in a PCJr with success?
These came with PC AT/XT machines in 1984.
Thanks

Any 360k drive should work with the PCjr.

I have 2 on the way and will keep you posted. These are direct drive rather than belt driven. Should be more reliable and likely quieter. Though I like the sound of the original Qume as it brings back memories.

Shouldnt be a problem I had a PCJr that had a TEAC FD-55B drive replaced for the original and it worked fine.
