- Huh? I never came across a 520 with a floppy built in. Always
- thought all 1040's had one and all 520 don't.
- In general, I think one can tell from the complete system name
- whether a floppy or an RF modulator are built in from the
- lowercase letters after the "ST". An "f" indicates a floppy
- drive, and an "m" stands of an RF modulator, e.g. a 520 STm has a
- modulator but no disk drive, and a 1040 STf has a drive but no
- modulator etc. Both models do exist.
- However, the correlation between the number in the system name
- and the amount of RAM does not seem to work 100% -- I once heard
- there was a 520 ST+ with 1 MB of RAM, no disk drive, no
- modulator.
