The YD-380 is a 5.25“ double sided high density floppy drive made by YE Data. It uses a metal belt to facilitate head movement and locks the disk with a lever. Head loading is done with a solenoid.
It uses the PN128XXX-31 control board.
The YD-380 model has a number of types. They can be identified via the label that is located on the back of the drive (connector side).
The 1711 type uses the Yaskawa GCMK-77X or Sankyo E2SLR3 motor board.
