Found this on http://www.silveriafamily.com/emax/emax_repair.html#fd

Floppy Drive: the DS/DD floppy drive of the Emax and Emax II is not a 
standard PC floppy drive. Orginal drives were made by NEC, but later 
models have a Mitsubishi Full Height 3.5" MF353B - 12 UJ or MF353BA - 
12U. The main difference here is that they can have their ID# set to 0 
where standard drives nowadays are hardset to ID1. Your best source for 
replacement floppy drives is Route 66 Studios. They also offer blank 
DS/DD diskettes $11 for 50. A floppy drive out of a Mac Classic will 
usually work as well.

route 66 can be found here

So Which emax got the Teac FD236HF-A529?
I have a Emax SE that the drive some times wont eject, did that have 
the Teac drive as standard? and whats the -A529 stand for?
The teac site lists it just as a FD235HF
