I bought this floppy drive long time ago and I tought it was regular one mounted in IBM's computers. I think I was asking about this drive some time ago but noone replied.
It's manufactured by Siemens, there's date - 10-1982. I've connected it to PC computer and tried to write some data on DD disc formatted as 160KB (the drive has one read/write head) sometimes I could save and read the data but only few times. I'm pretty sure it isn't PC drive, it has vired height (about 3/4 of full height one). I guess it can be single density drive.
Are such drives and diskettes common?
And what systems used single density?
