Advent Turborom with the Advent disk personality board. I have both in mine
One floppy is the 48tpi two sided half height, the other is 3.5" in a PC 5.25"
adaptor and inside I have a third 3.5" as a default boot drive. Lots of storage.

There WERE patches available for using 720K (3.5" or 5.25") drives on
