I guess it depends. I've certainly got some with full bezels and a Compaq
sticker on them. I think Dell also used these drives. At any rate, you can
find them very inexpensively and they work in quite a number of situations
that would be very difficult for a plain white-box Teac FD235HF.
I'd like to build a little adapter board that has all the line tweaks
needed to use a 3.5" drive with 720k media in older CP/M machines. A few
option jumpers and you wouldn't have to hack cables any longer. :)
