Mystery 5.25" external drive

[Wormetti]

What system is this drive for? It's just a standard 34pin 360KB drive with molex power connector on the inside.

What is the name of the blue connector?

Centronics

Looks like it might be a 5.25" external floppy drive for an Amstrad PC-20. It has what appears to be the right connectors anyway.

I'll second that. The connectors appear to be the same as those on an external drive I recently picked up, and that was listed as being from an Amstrad PC.

Thanks, Amstrad PC20 looks right and Amstrad was popular in Australia for a short time. I remembered it was a Centronics connector shortly after I posted but I was too slow to edit before a reply. My first IBM compatible was an Amstrad PC1512 but I've never owned or used the Amstrad PC20. I consider this mystery solved.

I got this drive in a box of sundries from an offline auction, many years ago.
