Here are what I see as the possible configurations regarding floppy disk
drives:

Mac Plus:  One internal, one external.
Mac SE:    If no internal hard disk, two internal and one external.
           If internal hard disk, one internal and one external.
Mac SE/30: One internal, one external.
Mac II:    Two internal.
Mac IIx:   Two internal.
Mac IIcx:  One internal, one external.
Mac IIci:  One internal, one external.
Mac Port:  One internal, one external (I think -- never seen one with two 
              drives)

That should about cover it.  Now, for hard disks, these machines can have
internal hard disks (at least Apple-supported internal hard disks):

Mac SE, Mac SE/30, Mac II, Mac IIx, Mac IIci, Mac IIcx, Mac Portable

That means that a Mac Plus cannot (although several third-party drives
exist).  All Macs can have external hard drives (since the 512KE, I think --
that was before my time).

Please correct me if I slipped up somewhere.
