IIRC, they're 800k drives.  Use standard double-density 3.5" floppy
discs.

E60S = 60Mb

by 'it' do you mean the hard disc alone, or the E01S and E60S together?
The E60S cannot be plugged directly into a Master.  The earlier Exx hard
discs can (they plug into the 1Mhz bus)

This kit is called a FileStore (commonly known as FileSnore due to its
lack of speed.)  It generates its own Econet clock, so you should be
able to plug it into a Master with an Econet module using a standard
patch cable and access it.

yes

hard to say. I'd suggest ukp 20 or 30 for the lot.
