Most of them have a jumper someplace on the board that speeds it up to 360 
rpms, and makes a 720k drive out of them, and they work very well under 
os9 with this dmod setup it effect:

{t2|08}/DD/NITROS9/3.3.0/very-old-L3/SCRIPTS:dmode /d2

 nam=D2 mgr=RBF ddr=rb1773
 hpn=07 hpa=FF40 drv=02 stp=03 typ=20 dns=03 cyl=0050 sid=02
 vfy=01 sct=0012 t0s=0012 ilv=03 sas=10 wpc= ofs= rwc=

Change the drive number to whatever yours is hooked up as.
