It was equipped with two 5¼″ drives typically K5600 made in East Germany (users complained about the quality of these drives) with a capacity of about 100 KB. But other manufacturers' drives could also be used, eg Bulgarian IZOT 5255E. Supported disk capacities are 100 KB (single density)

The reception of the computer was initially positive, it was seen as the first Polish personal computer. Later opinions tend to be critical. The press pointed out technical specification is not impressive, especially lack of graphic mode. Besides, TRS-80 was an unknown computer in Poland. There was
