   Yes, there's a focus knob internally.

   To use the AE HD 3.5" drive as a 1.44MB drive, you must use it with
the (somewhat rare) Apple superdrive card. AE's semi-proprietary 1600K
format was usable over the default floppy port, but 1.44MB's
out. You'll probably have to drop back to 800K disks for now.
