Hello, all. For those of us who enjoy keeping "ancient" devices

Hello, all. First, let me thank those who responded to my OP. My
further investigation revealed that most internal 3.5" FDDs had
direct-driven spindles. Only a few seem to use belts. Two belt-driven
candidates I've identified are the Newtronics/Mitsumi D357B and the NEC
FD121M. Any additional comment is greatly appreciated. Sincerely,
