Huh? My 7945s are 55MB hard drives period, there's nothing removable
unless you have a screwdriver. OK, if you look inside there is
probably a ~60MB Priam/Vertex MFM/ST-506 i/f drive, and one or two
printed-circuit boards to speak CS/80 over HP-IB out one side, and MFM
out the other to talk to the drive. There is a 68xx playing
microcontroller to run the drive (on the board with the HP-IB
connector) but it wasn't sold as a computer and I'm pretty sure it's
intended to be user-programmable.
