It's a 5" floppy, but hey, your talking to an ole timer, I've
even got a working 8" drive,,, damned if I know why.
It's all of 160k if I remember right, but then it's computer has gasp! 8k

Just think of it, there is more computing power in your keyboard that I
had in
my first three microcomputers.
