Many PC-type drives will work in the Prophet. The problem is that it 
expects a drive to be jumpered for "Drive Select 0", whereas a PC expects 
the drive to be jumpered for "Drive Select 1". In the old days, drives had 
a switch or jumper to change the drive select. Now most are hard-jumpered 
for Drive Select 1. You can either modify the drive, or the Prophet to make 
a new drive work. On the drive I used, I found a small surface mount 
resistor on it's circuit board across a position labeled "DS1". I 
unsoldered it and moved it to a position labeled "DS0", and the drive 
works. Others who have done the modification at the Prophet end may tell 
you how to do that. Or you can get a drive from Wine Country, but they're 
expensive.
