I have an external 5.25" (no further markings) for the Amiga at my home. It has on on/off switch, a 40/80 selector and doesn't need the diskchange command. It also does not need a mountlist entry, in contrast to Commodore's 1020 diskdrive.
Never really used the drive, and it is going to be sold tonight with the rest of my Amiga 500 set. I prefer to use my A1200 and A2000...
BTW: the 40/80 switch is not for switching between single & doublesided. It's meant for switching between 40 and 80 tracks, both doublesided. At 80 tracks, it can hold 880 KB per disk, which would enable you to do a diskcopy from a standard 3.5" disk and at 40 tracks it holds 440 KB, which is the same as the A1020 had. The A1020, in Commodore's infite wisdom, wasn't capable of using 880 KB disks, only 440 KB...
