I think the Tandy 1000 used a dual floppy set-up. Family Video (an actual
healthy video rental chain) based in Springfield, IL used a T-1000 running Unix
to operate their whole shop back in the day. People, especially
Burroughs/Sperry/IBM geeks were gob-smacked by this.

Also my old Commode Door 4032 and 8032 computers used the CBM 8050 dual floppy
(5 1/4") drive.  Bv)=
