This is a Sony MPF920-E/131 floppy drive unit which has been converted to operate at 150rpm in high density mode for compatibility with the Amiga.
As you can see, it is not trivial. The key to the conversion is the addition of the PLCC chip, which has been glued to the chassis top-down on the right side of the picture.
A high quality high density floppy drive unit with a diecast chassis is required for this conversion to work. The Sony MPF920-E is one such drive.
