I recently stumbled across a early hard drive platter
that appears, based on
measurements, to be an original RAMAC platter. Very little comes up in
Google beyond basic measures (diameter of 24" and a head motion of 6".)
I'm curious if there was anything out there that had similar
measurements. I did find a photo on facebook but it clearly has different
measurements.
Platter is in poor condition (no oxide, nicks and dings, etc although still
obviously a platter) but the owner is fascinated with possible origin.
I have one.
Not in usable conditon, but with glass over it, it makes a great patio table.
(using a cheap commercial 24" patio table as a base)
