Well, if this will be a suprise to your dealer, then your dealer is a MORON.


I can't attest to the LC, but the IIsi next to me on my wife's desk
certainly has an external floppy port.

Note, it is not right next to the SCSI port, as it was on the ci and cx,
it's down on the end.  Perhaps this is what confused your dealer.  (lord 
knows its hard for such people to understand those pretty pictures Apple
labels all the ports with, and of course it would be way to much to expect 
them to read product spec. sheets.  They might actually run the risk
of learning something...)
