@erol-
There were, indeed 5.25" floppy drives for the Amiga...  I don't remember the specifics, but I remember seeing one in a 2000, and there was also an external model planned (and built?) for the Amiga 500/1000, even.  What do you think the command
c:diskchange is for???  3.5" floppies auto-sense a disk swap, you know...

@burseg-
That said, what makes you think its an Amiga device?  I've also seen Amigas fitted with 5.25" floppies for emulators only.  (The A2000 286 bridgeboard was sold with a 5.25 in most stores, even, IIRC)

If it IS an Amiga device, there should be a sample in your 1.2 or 1.3 workbench disk in devs/mountlist for how to mount a 5.25 floppy.  It is as simple as a mount df1, the only thing is, you have to specify what df1 is in your mountlist.  ;-)
