Teac FD-505. Yeah, got one of those, too.
Me, too. It's mounted in a 486/DX-66 in a mini-tower that just doesn't have
a lot of places to mount disk drives. I think it's full with a FD-505,
a CD-ROM, and a single disk.
At a certain point in time, it was a very handy item, then 5.25" floppies
fell out of daily use right after...
