$12 !!
it's worth a phone call ;-}
Picure is correct but I don't recall ever seeing a Sony product inside a 755 /760.
It was always a TEAC .
As to the price differnce between essentially identical products ...
It's IBM ;-}
Note that many of the earlier 750 drives were 2.88 MB but the drive part you give is the
standard 1.44MB.
..peter.. who still can't figure IBM out ...
