When that's said, I can't remember with certainty anymore if I saw more than one.. but I vaguely recall that full-size rack versions of ND computers always had two floppy drives. But the only ones I remember for sure are the newer 3112-based ones, which always had one 8" and one 5 1/4" drive attached (the satellites and office variants were different).  And of course there could also be two controller cards in the machine, with device IDs set to 1560 and 1570 respectively. --[[User:TArntsen|TArntsen]] 12:40, 12 February 2013 (CET)</ins></div></td></tr> </table>
