I would ask here ( http://www.vcfed.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?46-Tandy-Radio-Shack ), but I'm pretty sure people use 5.25" 1.2mb drives on a Model II, and there may be available one of those adapters that use a SD Card or USB drive.

I have Model I/3/4/4p/4D, COCO 1/2/3, Osborne 1, Morrow CPM all use floppies.

Trying to move all the Radio Shack systems to newer options. SDC for the COCOs and MISE and M3SE for the the Z80 systems.
