Please help me identify this 1.22mb 5.25" drive from first half of the nineties
"Gamer & collector for passion, I firmly believe in the preservation and the diffusion of old/rare software, against all personal egoisms"
Is there any stickers on the back around the power and cable connectors ?
Hate posting a reply and then have to edit it because it made no sense 😁 First computer was an IBM 3270 workstation with CGA monitor. Stuff: https://archive.org/details/@horun

Single density drive (360KB). I'm 99% sure that this is a Mitsubishi M4851A variant.
The M56635 is higly integrated spindle pwm chip form the 90's. The head servo is a rotary stepper which is a bit odd on these late 5.25 inch drives but they probably had to use one instead of a modern stepper due to the cast drive assembly features.
The drive works good, the only thing I can assure you is that it can read 1.2mb disks.
