I'll say it less politely... the reseller is full of crap!

I have three MSI boards here.. one 6167, a 694D Pro, and a KT133... all three are using Mitsumi floppies and they're working just fine.

I second the above posts.
I've got a MS-6309 with a Sony OEM floppy.

My roommate is running his MSI K7T Pro using an ancient floppy drive. The kind that has the red LED. Works fine.

I would think that it really shoudln't matter. Its not as though TEAC drives will have any special interface.
