That sounds like it might be the same drive used in the HP 9122C disk
drives. I haven't looked at the drive itself out of a 9122C but I know HP
used Sony mechanisms in other floppy disk drives.

I've done the same thing--paid something like $70 for a NEC 3.5" diskette
drive for a customer who needed one as a replacement
I have the same problem with 3.5" floppy drives used in Trace/Mountain
floppy autoloaders.
They use a drive called Sone 73W (IIRC). The peculiar thing with these
drives is that the eject button are exactly in the centre of the front. couldnt find them, so I had to modify the eject
mechanism of the loaders one
after one. The drives were only good for 10-15.000 ejections.
