  I was scrounging around last week and found a pair of HH 5 1/4" floppy drives that are marked "2.4" next to a disk symbol on the front. Just out of curiousity I picked them up and checked <http://marina.mfarris.com/floppy/Hitachi.html> and sure enough they're 2.4Mb floppy drives! I've never heard of these before. Does anyone know what the disk format is or where these are used? The drives are Hitachi model FD532EIU. The label on them says that they're made for IBM. They're in some sort of a plastic sled.
