Most likely, the 3-mode drive. 8x1024 sectors on each
track, giving a
capacity of about 1.23MB. Many PCs of the era could also handle the

drives were manufactured right up until the end, but usually were
configured as 2-mode (720/1.44) unless jumpering changes were made to
the drive.

the lab? I'd figure if anyone may have seen one it would be you ;)
