 Didn't the very first 3100's have MFM
controllers?  I could have sworn that
I've heard that they did, but I've never seen such a beast. 
Yes, the first 3100's had MFM controllers, and half-height MFM drives
(RD31, RD32) in them.  They also had a 34-pin floppy interface to a
non-SCSI RX23.  Then came models that had *both* MFM and SCSI interfaces.
The latest ones had two SCSI interfaces, and used a SCSI-fied RX23 in
them.

...
 One with a TLZ30 (Tape drive for TK50's) or a
CD-ROM would be nice.  Mine
has the RX23, and I quite honestly have no idea what use the floppy drive
is. 
True, the RX23 doesn't have a lot of use.  You can't even (officially)
build a standalone backup kit on it.
