I had 2 external drives stacked above the internal one on the A500. Remember being not completely content about the tilted and more compact design of the A1200 that forced a more loosely placement of the drives beside the A1200, which in turn took up more space than the bigger A500. On the other hand, I like the A1200 design more than the A500,  so it was a mixed bag of annoyance and contentness. I did use all 3 drives extensively.
A1200 030 40MHz: 2/32MB Indivision AGA MkII
A600 7 MHz: 2MB
AROS 600 MHz
PC 13600 MHz: quad core i7 2600K 3.4GHz: 16GB RAM: ATI HD6950 2GB   (Yes I know)

It was a long time since I thought about that, but I think there were some programs that didn’t want to buy 3 floppy’s and you had to turn some of them of. I did have a hard disk and memory expansion for the A500 and it was the widest computer I ever owned.  How sad to sell it back in the early nineties, but the A1200 is still here.
