Can't ask more from this one:
My 64-bit Win7 machine recognized it instantly, and I was reading 720KB SS Pianosoft, ESEQ and FIL disks in minutes! And, it was 9 bucks on Amazon!
(Why then, is a Yamaha floppy replacement drive $315.11?)

Stay away from TEAC. I had 2 that didn't work and worse yet, corrupted existing floppy data. I got credit w/o having to return anything --- they KNEW!
I finally got my hands on a DYNEX DX-EF101 and it works fine.

I bought this one:...Because it stated that it would read both 720KB and 1.4 MB discs. I think I read a review saying that the TEAC would not read 720kb discs. Ill report back when it arrives, probably tomorrow.
SamI bought one of these:

Though I've not used it yet.
My understanding is that the only thing "non-standard" on the disks is that they didn't write a sector 0. You can't directly mount it with the standard PC software, but if you can access the raw disk, you will find a dos FAT filesystem there. There is DOS (real DOS unfortunately, not stuff that can run on Windows) to access this. I figure when I get a few days I'll write MAC software to use the thing.
