Need plastic door for old Sony floppy drive

Stan,

   That sounds like the drive that used in the 9122 C disk drive. The big
button in the center is a dead give away. I've never had one open so I
don't know what the model of the bare drive is but it's quad density or
something and it holds twice as much data as the drives used in the 9122 D
or S drives. I think I'm down to my last 9122C but I'll look and see. I'm
working about 14 hours a day right now so you'll probably have to remind
me. BTW what model instrument controller is that?
