There was <em>only</em> the floppy drive, no hard drive -- that came later when a 20MB external HDD hit the market. So, since the internal floppy drive has a disc with the operating system on it, you really <em>needed</em> a second floppy to hold your data -- or spend half your life swapping floppy discs in and out. This is getting far too geeky, I'll stop now.

Even if it wasn't working, it'd be quite saleable. Physically it looks in quite good condition. It’s astounding that such a classic computer (1985) was lying abandoned in the street.
