All this reminds me that I'm still searching for disk drives and attendant
hardware (and software) for my Model III.
Just throw in any old 360k drive. It'll work. Mine had one original TRS-80
drive, an IBM drive pulled from a PC, and the external drives were an IBM
4869 with a toshiba 360k drive pulled from a Leading Edge duct-taped on top
of it, using the 4869 P/S. The controllers for the externals were salvaged
from dead Mod. I disk boxes, and housed in a Tupperware
freezer container
that sat behind the drives.

I'm aware of that. Because mine did not come with ANY disk drives, it is
also missing the drive mounting tower, drive PSU card, and controller.
