  Now who was it that did those slimline 5.25"
drives (slightly less than
 1/2 height) with the eject button (rather than handle) on the front? My
 brain's trying to tell me those are BASF too*, but I could be wrong. I
 know I have some in storage back in the UK, and they're not very
 reliable either. 
 I remember using Compaq computers that had floppy drives matching
 your description. 
 I remember 5.25"/3.5" combo drives that were like that for the 5.25" side.
 They were made by Teac, I think. 
I may even have one or two of those.  And some of those 3.5" drives that would
mount directly into a 5.25" bay...
