There were several different ones. The DVI was a big box that, among
other things, contained an industry standard halfheight 5.25" floppy
drive.

But the model 100 also had a few different external 3.5" drives that
connected to the serial port. They did NOT use
"standard" drive mechanisms.

Unlike Apple, Tandy (with the exception of the Model 100
3.5" drives) always used "standard" disk drives.
