Below the floppy drive there is another way and a removable cover on the front panel. What is this for?

It's only 19mm high so won't take another standard floppy. Back in the day I modified mine to be bigger and take a Zip drive. Now I'm thinking a Compact Flash slot would fit nicely, but I don't want to hack up the original plastic. 3D print something maybe.

Was there ever any hardware that fit in this bay? What did Commodore intend for it?
