best regards

We try to match the closest serial number.

I don't really check labels much on those. Just date to be +/- 6 months.

Majority of Spyglass drives coming for recovery having DCM-compatible heads of one type. There is an incompatible type (I've seen it) but it is so rare that you can just forget about it.

Look at the code in ROM module A0.

You'll see something like: |W|MJ6DHMC.

It is important to match the character in bold:

|W|MJ6DHMC (it's the 3rd character after the |W|)

I have identified 3 different heads for Spyglass.
