A floppy drive with a belt, and in a laptop? I haven't seen anything
but direct drive motors in floppy drives, since the 360K full height
5.25" drives went away. Who made the drive, and what is the model
number?

I had a Toshiba Satellite 100 (I think). It was a PI-75, with a 540 MB HDD.
Its floppy drive spindle was belt driven from a DC-PM motor.I think though,
the slightly newert Laptop I have has a direct drive floppy.
