HP built some 1.3" drives. They were the
Kittyhawk series.
I remember now, That mechanicals was manufactured by citizen who
makes watches and yes, Citizen does use watch parts. I know what
parts especially screws and how parts looks since I worked with them
before. It is citizen's for sure on parts. Electricals by HP. Ah
that was old days!
Soon, the tiny HD by hitachi will come out with dizzying 80GB.
Oh, the interface is laptop IDE pinout.
Cheers,
