 I had dual 5.25 floppy drives on my old TRS-80 Color Computer 2 in the 80's.
 When I went to at-386 I just used 3.5 floppies and a 20 MB hard drive, later I bought a 486 and added a CD-Rom drive.
my 1st PC though was a 286 and it had a 5.25 and a 3.5 floppy drive.
 Used to have a floppy template I would use to punch a hole on the 5.25 floppy disk's  to make them double sided.
