To quote from the HD20 manual:

"If you prefer to put the hard disk to the side of the Macintosh, place it
on the right side. You risk magnetic interference from the Macintosh's power
supply and video circuitry if you place the hard disk on the left side of the
Macintosh"

So Apple does admit that there is interference, at least as far as the HD20
is concerned. I think it is safe to assume that this applies to floppy drives
as well.
