I'm sitting here looking at a TEAC FD-55GFR 5.25" floppy drive with a

with it? I'm not even sure if this is a HD drive.

How about SCSI floppy drives?
The problem with SCSI floppies is essentially the same--addressing is on
a sector number basis, not CHS. So the drives have limited format
recognition capabilities. I've never seen a 5.25' SCSI floppy, though
at one time SMS marketed a SCSI-to-FDC conversion board.
