 I think there was exactly one product from Apple
that plugged into
the floppy port - a 20MB disk that required strange drivers.  I
don't recall the part number, but when Apple came out with a 20MB
SCSI disk, they called it the "20SC" or something similar (IIRC)
to distinguish it from the older product.  
 The floppy port one was called the Hard Disk 20 (Hard Drive 20?? damn, I 
 always screw that up). You are right on the SCSI one (20SC). And there is 
 a 2nd product that I am aware of Apple made for the floppy port. An 
 external 400k floppy drive. They may have made other external floppies 
 for the Mac that use the floppy port as well (800k maybe, but I don't 
 think they made a 1.44 external)

 There were of course other floppy drives made for floppy ports on the 
 IIgs, but I don't know if that is the same functionality, so I don't know 
 if those could have been used on the Mac.

  	This reminds me... I have here an Applied Engineering AEHD 3.5"
External disk drive for Apple Computers. But the machine it's from is long
gone.
	Who wants it? Say, $20 for me to pack it and ship it out.
