Why a customized floppy drive? The Amiga custom chip, Paula, only supports the slower bit rate used by double-density floppy disks. Instead of spending a bunch of money to change the Paula chip, Commodore engineers got a customized floppy drive that spun the disk at half speed when it detected a high-density floppy disk.
