  you might be right by coincidence.  However the
second letter and third are
 for options to the basic drive such as door latch or media ready indicator. 
The third letter, sure. But I thought single speed/density drives had 
just 2 letters (type and options), dual speed/dual density drives had 3. 
I've certainly seen HFR (or some other 3 letter combination starting with 
'HD') for 3.5" drives capable of 720K and 1.44M. 
OK I have one so I know what it is.  FD55BVR, care to guess?  Also a FD55BFR?

Hint neither are dual speed.
