The so-called Yellow Book that contained the CD-ROM standards was published in 1988, the same year that the NeXT was introduced. Instead, the original NeXT computer came with a magneto-optical disc drive that used removable disc cartridges as both the primary storage and the external media device while a magnetic hard drive was an option.

A 3.5" HD floppy drive was available as an option and every cube I saw was fitted with one. The NeXTstation (the pizza box) came with a 3.5" floppy standard.
