Errr... didn’t the Amstrad PCW512 use 3” disks? I remember an Amstrad PC1512 which had twin 5.25” drives (although for a leg and half and arm, you could have a small HDD fitted in place of the second floppy), and then maybe an Amstrad PC2086 with twin 3.5” drives. If I remember rightly they both had a recess in the case for the monitor stand to sit in, and certainly one of them had a set of AA batteries to store settings...
