Actually I have a fancy dual drive unit that is the same thickness as a single floppy. It reads 3.5 & 5.25 inch floppies. New motherboards don't even have a connection on the motherboard for floppy drives.

I still have my original floppies and the manual for my Compaq 2.1 DOS that came with my Compaq "portable" or luggable computer.

Twin floppies, no hard drive and 256K memory originally. I upgraded it to 640k of memory and a 10 MB hard drive and a 1200 Baud modem.
