Now I have

This drive is compatible for head swap?

Usually the closes the better, also verify the micro-jogs, the closes the better too.

Seems right.

I'd say you've got a good chance that they are compatible for headswap.

Only number I'd be concerned about is the "3AS" vs "0AS". I don't think anyone quite knows what that last indicator number really means, I just know I usually try to match it. But you're going from a 3 head to a 4 head drive, so possibly it should be different.

I'd just be sure to check headmap with pc-3000 or another tool and make sure that the donor only has one additional head, not an entire extra platter. Sometimes they surprise you.
