And in the UK it was the left leg that did that trick.
The floppy drive was not optional on the 33; it was necessary, as was the
$10,000 console that ran the diagnostics, etc. for the system.

Ah yes, the 33. And who hasn't had the pleasure of sitting at the desk and
using their right leg to inadvertently flip the switch from on to off. Of
course the high tech fix was a piece of cardboard taped over the switch to
prevent this

Yes, the 33 was a desk, but there was a bay for a floppy drive on the front of
the box on the right side that housed the power supply. I guess the drive was
optional.

maybe was a 30? the 33 was a box desk but suppose could have had
external drive or... just a version I had not seen... Yes... Imagine the
floppy install and you hit a bad floppy in the middle of the install! ugh....

the 3x series was the wonder that had the silicon on sapphire chip. In
the day ... this chip was revolutionary. We have one in resin that was a HP
issue as a celebration of the event of manufacture of it.

I recall seeing an SE do an install (was it called that on the classics? I
can't remember. Coldstart?) on a Series 33 from 8-inch floppies. It took a
bunch of them and lots of time. I'm glad I experienced that only once!
