Does anyone recall an Olivetti ST506-interface drive with a colossal

I'm just curious; I always thought that capacities either equaled or
surpassed the 5MB of Seagate's ST506 after they introduced it, so I
was a bit surprised to hear of a drive with < 5MB.
Hard drives smaller than 5MB were not unusual. For example, the Rodime
RO-101 was only 3MB.
My list shows Olivetti-branded drives starting at 10MB forever. So
probably someone else's drive.
