The 128K has one 400K floppy disk, no HD or SCSI. I believe that there is a 20MB HD that plugs into the floppy port, but all I have is the 400K floppy...
I'm pretty sure that in order to read 800K floppy disks, you need the newer ROM's, I think this one has got the old, original ROM's... So nothing but 400K's for me...
