  Nah, isn’t that an older Compaq with a floppy?

    I can’t find a picture of that exact model, but to me it looks like it has the silver box HP logo like this one:

    And no thats definitely a Zip drive, not a 3.5" floppy:

    The little round button on the right and the round inset under the slot give it away.

      No, there’s dozens of different floppy drive faces. I recognize their round eject button on the left. The thing on the right is the activity LED.

      You’re right it’s during the messy HP/Compaq time when they held on to the brand. I remember them from my desktop support days. I thought it was an 8300 but that’s wrong
