Al, i have a 235HG drive as a backup. I tried it, it did not work.
This is the reply i got from someone at Hitachi.....
"Unfortunately Teac floppy(you call stiffy) disk drive stopped production
by the manufacturer of Teac. Maybe they still have 5th version drive.
Compatible floppy disk drive you can find from internet as name of
compnay Y-E DATA. You can find below address.

But I can't guarantee whether they sell these model as standard verion or not."
I hope that this info might be of help to others.
