Yeah, but the engineering nickname for the first voice-coil drive was
30/30 because there were two platters, 30MB each. someone called it the
Winchester, and the name stuck - however, the first IBM Winchester might
have been the 3340.

being
developed at IBM's Hursley laboratory which is just outside Winchester in
England.
