Let's see, the BV is a 360K unit with head-load solenoid.  The BF has me
stumped.  The F would indicate a 720K drive, but if that were so, the B
wouldn't be part of it.  FWIW, the "R" is a delimiter and ends the
capacity/special feature field.  What follows next is a number, such as
200, that signifies revision, bezel color, etc.  A final "U" means the
drive is UL approved.
