What about the C64? It had both 5.25 (model 1541) and 3.5" (model 1581) drives.

Does Famicom Disk System count?
No, it uses its' own proprietary type of disks, no standard 3.5''
Some higher-end MSX machines had 3.5" drives as an option.
You could get 3.5" drives for the Amstrads CPC and PCW cos the 3" disks were basically impossible to get.
3.5” disks were standard on the Acorn Electron, and optional upgrades for the BBC Micro and BBC Master.
Thanks so far - all of these are really good - As I said I already have an apple IIC+ so that covers the 6502 side of things I think. I am thinking of something like a Vixen, or Ortrona only with the 3.5" drives- All in one. Or something I could build myself with like 2 of these drives. In that case, I can use my laptop as its screen and keyboard through a USB/Serial adapter. But an SX64 shape is what I am looking for.
The C128 has a Z80 too ;) I don't reckon there was an SX128 though
VTech Laser 128.
But that's just an Apple II clone.
