The Compucolor II computer came standard with a 5.25" disk drive, built into its TV-based monitor. (The earlier Compucolor I had used an 8-Track tape for data storage.)
The disk format was single-sided (but disks could be flipped), with 40 tracks and 48tpi density. It had an average access time of 400 ms and latency of 200 ms, with transfer rate 76.8 kilobits/sec. Formatted capacity was 51.2 kilobytes per side.
