Best I can figure it, (based on my 3,) is the PC-7000 had two floppy
drives, the PC-7100 gave up a floppy for the hard drive.
These are actually more interesting than you might think at first glance.
Notice how the handle can slide towards the back so it's off-center?
Notice the little metal inserts along the top edge of the back? There's a
printer (I've only got one) that attaches to the back for portability. The
handle can either be centered on just the main unit or on the main unit and
the printer.

I'm afraid I've got no docs, and it's been a while since I've booted any of
mine so I can't even say if any have the same tint. I would be interested
in hearing anything you find out about it, though!
