	Well, it seems I've made an error.  The LC is joined by the
Mac II, IIx, and IIfx in the family of Macintoshes that lack ports for
an external floppy.  (The IIcx and IIci -do- have an external floppy port)

	However, I'll still assert that a port for an external floppy
shouldn't have been excluded from the LC.  With the II/x/fx, there is
more than enough room for a second internal floppy drive along with a
hard drive.  With the LC, you would have to sacrifice the internal
hard drive to put in a second floppy - and the "mass market" LC isn't
available in a no-hard-drive model.

	Thanks, Nick...
