Editing Acorn Archimedes A3010 (section)

== Storage ==

The A3010 has a single 3.5-inch high-density floppy drive formatted to 1.6 MB, which also reads and writes 720 KB and 1.44 MB DOS discs.<ref name="arcwiki" /><ref name="wp" /> Unlike the A3020 and A4000, the A3010 has '''no provision for an internal hard disc''': although the IDE controller logic exists inside the support chipset, Acorn did not fit the physical IDE connector or the drive mountings.<ref name="arcwiki" /><ref name="chris" /> Owners who wanted a hard disc added one through the mini-podule slot or by wiring an interface to the support chip.<ref name="stardotide">[https://stardot.org.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=12884 "A3010 IDE options"], Stardot forums.</ref>
