The U07 box sounds like the external drive for a Xerox

floppy and an 8 inch hard drive. They have 37 pin connectors if I
remember correctly.
If the floppy drives stand so the slots are vertical, then this sounds like
an 820 external drive box (I use one to hold a couple of drives). The
drives that I've usually found inside are Shugart SA-800s--nothing special.
I've put some Siemens DS drives in mine. The cable coming out of the
thing contains orange and yellow wires in a black jacket and the 37-pin
male connector on the end is diecast zinc.
On the other hand, if your box is about 2 feet tall and has two 8" drives
with their slots oriented horizontally, you may well have a Xerox 8010
Star.
