These are the original drives from Vortex, for use on CPC 464. The interface supports one or two 80 track drives, additionally a 3" [[Amstrad Disk Drive|FD-1]] can be connected as third drive, ie. unlike most other CPC disk interfaces it supports more than 2 drives. With [[VDOS]] only two drives are accessible at one time.
