I cannot remember what the model 100 used for a drive.
There were several different ones. The DVI was a big box that, among
other things, contained an industry standard halfheight 5.25" floppy
drive.
But the model 100 also had a few different external 3.5" drives that
connected to the serial port. They did NOT use
"standard" drive mechanisms.
the coco and coco 2/3 both used standard (ibm
compatable) mfm, 5 1/4 in, single sided, low density
floppy drives.
Unlike Apple, Tandy (with the exception of the Model 100
3.5" drives) always used "standard" disk drives.
