8 bit era but with 3.5" floppy drive? (lemmy.one)

Were there any 8-bit era computers that had a 3.5" floppy? They probably would have run CP/M. I do have an apple IIC+, but I also would like some sort of Z80 machine.

Thanks so far - all of these are really good - As I said I already have an apple IIC+ so that covers the 6502 side of things I think. I am thinking of something like a Vixen, or Ortrona only with the 3.5" drives- All in one. Or something I could build myself with like 2 of these drives. In that case, I can use my laptop as its screen and keyboard through a USB/Serial adapter. But an SX64 shape is what I am looking for.

The C128 has a Z80 too ;) I don't reckon there was an SX128 though
