ED on 5.25" disks? Why not! I didn't know about this

I'm not coughing up ~400$ CDN for a showpiece, but it was tempting. But no media for it.
Oh well.

Those 2.4M floppy drives are used in IBM 3174 Establishment Controllers to load the system microcode. I don't know if there were any other devices that used those 2.4M floppy drives.
Here's a teardown video of an IBM 3174-61R
