    The 150 ohm packs are for the more common Tandon floppies.  Somebody 
switched them.  I have several of the 220/330  packs in my parts box and 
would be glad to mail you one.  Send your snail mail address off-list.

    Part numbers on mine are:

    Beckman 899-5 R220/330
    CTS 760-5-R220/330
    A-B 314E221331
    Bourns 4114R-003-221/331
    Dale MDP-1405-221/331G

    Notice a pattern here?  :-)
