I used a SS DD (360 kB) 3.5" drive from an Atari ST. A DS DD
(720 kB) drive will work as well. I'm not sure what's the word
on HD drives (1.44 MB).

I worked for years with an Oric-1 main board in a wooden box
under the monitor and an Atmos keyboard attached to the Oric
main board with a coiled cable. The total length of the cable
was about 1.5 m (uncoiled).
