Hey, guess what?
That unit behaves as a 1.76MB Amiga High Density floppy disk drive when connected to the internal floppy port of my Commodore KS3.1/WB3.1 A1200!
It is noticeably slower when reading HD-formatted Amiga, MS-DOS and Macintosh disks (I suspect that this is normal, given that the drive is running at half the normal speed during HD R/W operations), but it is working!
If it wasn't for the information posted by others in this thread I would never have made this discovery. Thanks, guys!
And thanks to
fitzsteve for selling it to me!

I hope the Amigakit unit you kept for your tower build is also a high density floppy drive, Steve!
