General
Basically, the TM100-2/2A is a very nice floppy disk drive. I use it with my DREM and FLUXCOPY in conjunction with hard-sectored floppies. So far I have had only good experiences. Especially the drives that are still good and functional today are excellent in my opinion.

Among the links below you will find two good pages on this topic by Terry Stewart (here is a copy). I have made the experience that sometimes only the track 0 is not set correctly. And you only have to turn one screw. This is actually quite simple. So I got two drives working again within 30 minutes.
