The Evotek drive initially used the notoriously unreliable Ampex

uncertain. It probably should be avoided.
I would look for an replacement drive using oxide media. The nice
thing about oxide media is it came pre-corroded so that's one thing
not to worry about in a 35 year old drive
OK, but I'm not looking for a replacement for en Evotek harddisk, but for
a CDC FINCH harddisk. These drives seem to be so rare - I would not even
care about the media the disks where made of ;)
And - I found nothing "compatible" so far to replace them with other
harddisks.
