No, its a signal diode. The body color, with the Polarity marking on the right. They allow current flow in ONE direction and not the other, instead of a resistor which adds a certain amount of resistance to the current flow.
Signal diodes are like heart valves, the blood flows one way, but when the blood tries to flow back they slam shut.
Without looking at the other side of the circuit, its probably just bridging two pins of the floppy connector to fool the Amiga into thinking a Floppy drive is present.
