More than two floppy drives?
Did you know PCs started out supporting 4 Floppy drives? And added an option for 8! But, it's almost never used.

I found the history and technical side of four floppy drives to be far more interesting and frustrating than I expected.There's even more to this story that I left out because it was beating a dead horse but all computers with floppy drives should have supported more but just didn't.
