Really?  The last pair of FD55GFRs that I picked up a couple of 
months ago at the local recycling store were still in retail 
packaging, where it says "High density 1.2MB internal floppy drive 
for IBM PC/AT and compatible computers."  Set me back $5 the each.

Seems pretty clear what the intended market was to me!  BTW, the box 
identifies it only as an "FD-55"; no "GFR", but it's a 7000-series 
GFR all jumpered to drop right into a 5170 or clone.
