There made in sections and stack together. (floppy)-(CPU)-(Power supply) 
Its does not have a HD section.  could have other sections for tape and 
expansion. Some where 30 " or better long. If it boots from floppy it 
should be fine.  I believe the systems I have use ST 506 drives but the
controller is built into the HD section.
