I've come across an Epson 5.25" floppy drive

it was servotracked (the positioner is a nromal stepper motor) and I
think the heads are in contact with the media when it's in use. Anyone
know anything about it?
No, I don't think I've seen one. But the Drivetek 320 drives had two
edge connectors--one 34-position, the other 8-position, in an
arrangement such that you could make contact with both using a 50
position edge connector.
Embedded servo. I wonder if the Epson also uses that...
Later Kodak drives don't have the second connector.
