    My Macintosh II has this odd sticker next to the floppy drive, labeled "1.4 MB" This is especially weird given that my Macintosh II has two 800KB drives, an IWM chip, and the stock ROMs. Given the odd nature of this and just, the look of the sticker in the first place, I assumed, for the last...
