Comparing it with the width of the disk slot, I would say under 6"...
OK, I am sure I can find 2 points inside the drive that are 6" apart
(like pin 1 of this IC to pin 13 of that IC :-)).... For that matter I
could probably find 2 points inside a TM100 that are 3.5" apart. Does
that make it a 3.5" drtve? :-)

I did wonder if the 5.25" refered to the
diameter of the magneitc disk
and that the square envelope was larger. However, I have just measured a
5.25" floppy disk with a ruler and the enveleope is 5.25" in each
direction... So what 6" refers to is beyond me.
What is the width of the faceplate of the drive?
