[Microcomputers that support/didn't support SMD
drives]
The IMSAI sales brochures circa 1977 promised a S-100 controller for
what was obviously one of the larger CDC SMD removable pack drives.
Ah, here's the quote, August 1976 color sales brochure:
Disk Drives: Disk-50, Disk-80, Disk-200
You can sp;ecify 3330-type disk drives with 50, 80, or 200-megabyte
capacities. Each drive is supplied with Disk Drive Interface HDIF.
Please Contact the factory for additional information.
<End quote>
Was the HDIF purely vaporware, or was it a real shipped item?
200 Megabytes would be a lot in the mid-70's, even for a minicomputer
system!
