I think there are several other models could be used for parts... no need for such a strict match.

The link i sent you is a perfect match according to my experience in DR industry. Don't worry go for it.

Still in doubt?? Share the patient drive ROM file and PCB picture so that i can verify the details for you.

Regards,
Shubh

It matches perfectly with your patient drive. Go for it.

This is extremely strict and most of it doesn't make sense.

i know it can be difficult to find a head stack that performs well in all respects, so the question is how you can get it work with the donor heads you have.
coz it is possible, otherwise you might search for 'compatible' donors forever.
