I have no backing for this except a fading middle-aged memory but didn't Alan Sugar use the 3 inch drive because he'd bought up a huge job lot of drives and disks.

I don't know that, but I do know that the Spectrum +3 came in 2 versions with the disc drives being made by 2 different companies. You could also get external disc drives for the ZX Spectrum +2A.

The only other computer that I've come across that used 3' discs (Other than Amstrad) was the Einstien, a very fun computer if you can find one.
