Amiga Floppy Drive CHINON FB-354 RevB - RevE - Rev?
Good day to all. I have this 3 floppy drives.
Which one for experience or knowledge is the best revision? Is the one with no Rev markings the first one? Images Top - Bottom - Rear |

There is basically 2 different types (the left one in your pics, compared to the middle and right one)
Both the motor pcb as well as the controller pcb is different on the left model, but from my experience, they are still interchangeable with the later ones. I have not noticed any quality difference between the different FB-345 sub-models. The FB-354 is quite reliable in my opinion, and it has that big advantage that it can read and write from/to HD disks. |
