These were in common use on Z89's and Z-90's. Heathkit used drives made
by
Tandon and Siemens. The Siemens drives were kinda unique: It used a
disk with a spiral groove for the head positioner.
The cabinets are among the best floppy enclosures ever made IMHO
(although
they can be a bitch to put back together). I have several of them
myself.
The (linear) power supplies in 'em are fairly beefy.

I made a curbside rescue of a dual ext. fdd. Two FH 5
1/4 floppies
mounted
vertically. ZenithDS Heathkit H77 with ribbon cable connector. Looks
more like
an 8" mechanism than your standard floppies. I'm assuming these were
for a
Z-100 guaged by the ZDS H-K label timeframe . Any info on them ?
Judging by the mechanism that I can see , like Rainbow drives but not
laterly opposed , they're SS.
