[vcf-midatlantic] Which Amigas support 1.44MB/1.76MB floppy drives?

The Amiga 4000 does. There's a jumper on the motherboard to switch between
DD or HD drive, depending on what's installed in the system.

I'm not sure about the Amiga 3000, but the other systems do not
(inherently) support 1.44MB/1.76MB drives.
