That is using an NEC UF0001 drive.
Good luck finding one!
But, the UF0002 is readily available. Anybody have any idea whether it
would work?
probably not.
Presumably, NEC's FIRST external USB drive used a general purpose USB
floppy controller, but probably by the second one, they made it very
specific to 1.4M
If it supports "mode 3", then it could probably be made to work for NEC's
8" format, and the NEC 1.2M 5.25" format.
