Almost certainly not.  100 tpi and 96 tpi drives locate cylinder 0 in 
a different place--and over 77 cylinders, the difference is 
substantial.  My guess is that the faceplates came prelabeled and the 
factory guys just grabbed the 96 tpi faceplates when they ran out of 
100 tpi ones.

Cheers,
Chuck
