The folklore link they reference: https://www.folklore.org/Five_Different_Macs.html https://www.folklore.org/Five_Different_Macs.html The 1st edition of macworld, notably the first page is an advert for microsoft's products, multiplan spreadsheet, word, etc. https://archive.org/details/MacWorld_8404_April_1984_premier/mode/2up https://archive.org/details/MacWorld_8404_April_1984_premier... The original floppy used on the mac was a single-sided 400KB disk. I imagine that was another set of trade-offs. https://folklore.org/Disk_Swappers_Elbow.html https://folklore.org/Disk_Swappers_Elbow.html

I imagine that was another set of trade-offs Originally they planned on using custom 870K drives, but they were too unreliable so at the last minute they switched to the Sony 400K 3.5" disks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_FileWare https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_FileWare https://folklore.org/Hide_Under_This_Desk.html https://folklore.org/Hide_Under_This_Desk.html
