I recently bought a pair of Sony 800K floppy drives on eBay, which came with an interesting set of mounting hardware -- I'm curious if anyone recognizes it (the goal is to figure out if it is worth saving).
The drives were in the standard 805-5050-A mounting enclosures pictured, and I assumed they came out of a II/IIx/IIfx. When I got them, I noticed there was an "extra" die cast-type piece holding them together as well as a similar piece on the outer side of each drive. The cables were also extremely long (3+ feet).
It's been well over a decade since I last had a full-size Mac II series machine open -- did I just never notice these parts, or did these drives come out of something else?
