FDD
A floppy disk system released by the end of 1984, by TIMEX Portugal. It was made up of 3 modules (power, controller and 3” floppy disk unit) and an interface to connect it to a computer.
The interface and module controller were developed entirely by TIMEX Portugal. They can be connected to up to 4 floppy disk drives.
Technically, it was a complete computer, with a Z80 processor, 16K of RAM (expandable to 64K) and serial ports. It used a TOS operating system (TIMEX Operating System). It used Basic commands.

It is pretty rare because it caused a lot of issues and, at the factory, they were swapped by the FDD3000.
