Yep, Dragon Alpha/Professional used Sony 3.5" SS80 drives, also over 
here in the UK SS80 (or even SS40/80 switchable) drives where quite 
common, especially on machines like the BBC micro.

Yeah psiibly though I guess 40 or 80 tracks, single or double sided 
where the most common, IIRC the Tandy 35 track format and 40 track 
format are the same, except for less tracks :)

Cheers.

Phill.
