Yep, it has a big 8" drive up front, almost identical in appearance to the
floppy in my Series/1...

Hehe... I love all those warning labels... They are EVERYWHERE! Maybe I
should try counting all of them that are in my S/1. BTW, I'm almost
finished converting the CPU on my S/1. It runs on 120V now, I tested it a
few minutes ago, now all I have to do is replace the blower fan and put it
back in the rack. And then on to the disk drives...
And I have a System/34 question... How do you tell which model it is? I've
looked at the labels I could find on the S/34 at a local museum, but I
couldn't find anything. Just the 5340 signs.
