   This 1990 FAQ from Epson says the drive worked in an Epson Equity series computer, with a "non-standard FDD interface".

   You might hunt for "Epson Equity" docs. The few I have read suggest that Epson sourced some parts that were nearly but not quite compatible with standard interfaces of the time, so there may be some goofball surprises waiting.

     @w8emv @thomasfuchs That document also mentions the Epson SD-525-001 is compatible, which might also help - Epson docs are easier to find, IME.

     The Equity 1 manual is here: http://web.archive.org/web/20200120025311/http://files.support.epson.com/pdf/e1____/e1____u1.pdf But unfortunately it doesn't have much detail on the floppy drive.
