The BASF 6106 is a FDD. I've got one or two in the pit somewhere, but they're
half-high 5-1/4" drives with full-height fronts on them. They have a door that
opens if you push on the bottom.
It's an SA400 look/work-alike, methinks. Though I've got the doc's somewhere, I
haven't looked at 'em since the late '70's.
