Im in a bit of a predicament. I need to find slim 5.25 drives that support electronic eject for a certain project, but I only find IBM 64F4102 drives. I really dont want to spend a ton of money, and i dont want to eat into the supply of such an uncommon drive as well.

Does anyone here know of any other slim 5.25 drives that have an electronic eject feature?

Thanks

couldnt find any either; out of curiosity: where do these exotic expectations come from?

The IBM one came from a handful of ps/2 models. So far ive found 6 that had the option. Of course not all them even came with one.

The other application is a Sharp x68000 computer from japan. I received a few and one of them is missing its two floppy drives... its a hard part to source even in japan, and while you can adapt it to use regular floppy drives I'd like to keep it authentic.

But as you see, electronic/auto/etc eject seems to be almost non-existent in the 5.25 drive variety.
