Actually, I think QaudX machines did generally have SCSI hard drives and 
a Manta board for the floppy (for the rst of the people here, Torch 
boards were named after water creatures, the mainboard in a XXX is a 
Stickleback, the memory expansion board for that is a Limpet, and so on). 
XXXes had either the Omti board (which linked to a floppy drive and an 
ST412 hard disk [1]) or the SCSI hard disk and a Manta.

[1] The original Torch hard drives were NEC units, and they are 
well-known for developping stiction...
