   @thomasfuchs Dang, is that a full-height 5.25 floppy drive? I'm not entirely sure I've ever seen one of those in the flesh.

     @thomasfuchs which, by comparison, is like a cheap plastic toy :)

     @thomasfuchs Just knowing how wide they are, those are unfathomably tall. It makes much more sense that PCs of that vintage used to advertise half-height drives as a feature (or at least, I have vague recollections of this).

     @thomasfuchs Did this go with a 99/4A (which IIRC was similar footprint to a Tandy ColorComputer)? Or was this for a big sibling of the 99/4A?
