BASF also made a 2/3 height floppy (could get 3 into a

was the first 5.25" drive smaller than "full height" that I saw. It also
was the first one that I saw that had a D.O.A. failure rate of more than
50%. The door on it was not very obvious - you push on the door and then
let it pop open. I recommend pushing on that door with a very large
mallet.
I remember those -- the RML380Z used them. Canon also made a 2/3 drive --
a 40/80 switchable, and a rather better device than the BASF. I've got one
here, with some extra switches so it can emulate the peculiarities of an
RX50.
