Herb Johnson has 460 OEM docs.  From what I do remember, the 460 is a 
96 tpi drive (720K), which means that you're not going to be able to 
replace it with a FH SA450 (360K) drive.

Heaven only knows what the suffix means--could be a variation on the 
face plate or could mean something like a head-load solenoid and/or 
door lock.  If you don't see evidence of either, try a plain old 720K 
drive of any size (e.g. 3.5").

Cheers,
Chuck
