..as seem to be the days of finding 5.25" discs posted into the gap
/between/ drives..
A bit more recently, it was not uncommon to find CD-ROMs pushed in
between the drives (or blanking plates).
In the days of the Mac II, etc. the cases were designed ot take 2 floppy
drives, but only one was fitted as standard. There was a blacnking plte
fited bekind the slot for the second disk, but it was inadequatley fixed
and often fell out. At which point users posted their disks int othe slot
whereupon they fell down inside the machine. I rememebr repairing a Mac
IIfx and extracting half a dozen floppies from it.
