  I cannot find *any* reference in official NeXT literature about
the internal floppy being available.  The price list does not give
a separate part number for the 2.88 Mb drive.  PLI does not offer
an internal version of the SuperFloppy 2.8.  So. . . it looks like
you have to go with the external floppy drive for now.  At least
that's all I can find now.  Anybody from NeXT care to comment on
future availability of internal floppy drives?  We have a NeXT
server which we built from one of the old network system machines
(came with board + 40 meg swap drive) by adding a WREN VI drive.
It has no optical, so it would be nice to have the floppy drive
internal.
