I assume that you mean 2.4M. I did some searching on the 3174 and option 1048 for them
is a 2.4Mb drive so that looks like that's where they came from.
Later I checked the drives closer and I found a disk in the one that I hadn't
looked at. It looks like a standard 5 1/4" floppy disk. It had a plain white label on
it with no brand name. The lable says "DISKETTE TYPE 2.4MB 3174 CONTROL",
"LICENSED INTERNAL CODE - PROPERTY OF IBM", "MACHINE 3174 P/N 25F8499 E/C
A78831 ML90095 MICROCODE LVL B2.0" etc etc so it appears that it's definitely for
a 3174.
