Cheap PSU/“chargers” from the Far East sometimes have blatant lies as their specifications. They may manage the claimed current but not at the required voltage (4.75V to 5.25V).
I use Sony 920 floppy drives with my Master 128. My Master Compact has the original drive. And all WD1770/2 floppy controller based systems (all Masters, Electron, B+ and model B with a WD1770/2 board) should work with most 3½” drives that are in DD mode when used with DD floppy disks.
You do have to check and deal with the drive/device select often being set to drive 1. Plus some may need the motor on/load head control line adjusting.
