     02:21  Disk II diffhist +3,191 Josh talk contribs (Rewrite against Apple's own Disk II manual (now hosted here) and Weyhrich's Apple II History: corrected release to July 1978 and price to $495 pre-order / $595 retail; corrected the mechanism origin (Shugart SA390 supplied without read/write electronics, head load solenoid, track zero or index sensors - not a modified SA400); corrected chip count (about 40 down to 9, then 8 - not one-tenth); deleted unsourced approximations (dimensions, weight, ~15 KB/s transfer rate, 1985 discontinuation, 14...)

     02:15  Tandon TM100-2 diffhist +9,551 Josh talk contribs (Rewrite against Tandon service manual P/N 179022-001 (now hosted here) and minuszerodegrees: real power and performance specs, alignment tolerances, belt P/N 914000-001, C36/C43 4u7/16V tantalums as PSU-overload suspects, R4 speed adjust and three measurement methods; corrected head cleaning (Tandon forbids hand cleaning) and rail lubricant (silicone, not white lithium); removed unsourced DS2 jumper and 7-wire-twist claims; replaced dead bitsavers 404 link and bare link list with ref citations)
     02:15  Tandon TM100-1 diffhist +7,103 Josh talk contribs (Rewrite against Tandon service manual P/N 179022-001 (now hosted here): real power spec (+12 V +/-0.6 V 900 mA, +5 V +/-0.25 V 600 mA - was "~600 mA and +12 V"), full spec table, 300 RPM +/-1.5 pc, alignment tolerances (cat eye 75 pc, index-to-data 200+/-100 us, azimuth +/-18 min), belt P/N 914000-001, jumper/termination detail; corrected head cleaning (Tandon forbids cotton swabs and solvents by hand) and rail lubricant (silicone, not white lithium); removed unsourced Apple II compatibility...)
