replacement floppy drives

2006-11-29 by David Griffith

I sold a Qume 842 8-inch floppy drive to someone who intended to use it
for a Fairlight.  Unfortunately (partially my fault), the drive didn't
work when it arrived.  I don't have any more of that make and model of
drive, but I do have several Shugart 851 drives.  The Qume manual states
that the Qume 842 is a match for the Shugart 851.

I don't use a Fairlight myself.  So, is there someone here who can tell me
if and how another make of floppy drive will work with a Fairlight?
