I have a Hitachi hfd532eiu floppy drive!
It is a 2.4MB drive that reads 1.2MB allso.
How the hell does this work, i have nener heard of a 2.4MB only a 2.88MB 3 1/2 drive. And i have never seen a motehrboard BIOS that supports it.
I don't know.
Google lead to a discussion here:

And someone on ebay is currently selling one for $146.23.
I have one of those too including the original adapter to connect it to a terminal... that's actually what those drives were built for. I had it in one of my "floppy machines", but took it out because none of my motherboards could properly use it (had to use a special DOS program that I can't find now to enable 2.4MB formating).
What terminal?
I am aroused about any X86 motherboard that has full functional ISA slot. I think i have problem. Not really into that original (Turbo) XT,286,386 and CGA/EGA stuff. So just a DOS nut.
PS. If I upload RAR, it is a 16-bit DOS RAR Version 2.50.

I've never owned the terminals myself but if I recall correctly it was one of these IBMs: http://www.ebay.com/itm/IBM-3174-61R-Coaxial- … E-/380379106547
I hope this helps you.
