Thanks for the lesson! My info on the AV and BV drives only notes a
head-load solenoid, not a door lock. If the BF is only the reversed drive,
I probably could have discovered this myself if I had taken the time to
check my own stock--I beleive that I've got one somewhere.
However, according to my Teac product information, the bezel color is NOT
part of the part number before the "R"--that's in the part of whatever
follows the "R".
I also discovered that yes, indeed, Teac made 5.25" SCSI floppy drives and
was sourcing them as late as the mid 1990's. I also have some information
regarding initialization strings on the Teac SCSI floppies.
