Those were Tandon drives with shack labels & they AFAIK, were all DS 40 
or DS80 track drives. 35 track SS when on the end of a stock coco drive 
cable. Fill in the missing teeth, and they are instantly usable when 
running OS-9, with the correct drive descriptor.  I wore out 2 of the 80 
track versions but it took me over a decade to the first failure.  Good 
old drives, them is.
