Single floppy drive, with white bezel as part of the drive. I'm not sure whether this indicates a replacement drive or not - some Archimedes machines have the drive door and button built into the front of the case, but others have a rectangular cut-out for the floppy drive.

Notice that there isn't a model number on the label on the front. There was some feverish speculation at the Show that this meant it was such an early machine that it predated the model number appearing on the case - this was the Acorn Archimedes and there was only one Archimedes! Could it possibly even be the first-ever A305, before they decided what to call it, or maybe a unique machine built in secret by Roger Wilson in a bed-sitter in Cherry Hinton in 1978...
