One of Apple's first real laptop (the PowerBook 100) didn't have a
floppy standard either...it was an external addon.  Later on, the
Duo's (of which I have three) also didn't come with floppies, but
you could dock them and likely have a floppy drive attached to the
dock...but of course, I have no idea if the floppy even works in
my duodock...never have a need to use it.
