Wasn't the Osborne I floppies Siemens?
My O1 has the DD upgrade and I don't particularly feel like
taking it apart just to find out what kind of drives are in it, but
looking at the Executives tech manual, I've been unable to find a
spot in it where it specifies a specific drive model/manufacturer.
It just states that the drives supplied meet ANSI standards, though
other non-ANSI drives are also supported, the main difference being
+12V (versus ground) on pins 11, 13, 15, and 17; supplying +5V
(versus ground) on pins 21, 23, and 25; and supplying +5V MOTOR ON
from pin 16.
