It looks like an MZ-1U06 (expansion unit). But I believe it is for MZ-700. I don't think MZ-800 need it to hold a FDD card.

See MZ-700 and MZ-800, they both have an MZ-1U06 above a dual FDD: http://www.idealine.info/sharpmz/sucvisit.htm

If you are uing the MZ800 FDC you dont need an expansin unit. Bur there was an expansionsunit to conect MZ700 FDC and other cards to the MZ800.

By my self, i have bulid an busadapter to conect the MZ700 FDC to the MZ800 ( you must remove the (ep)rom from the MZ700 card !! )
