Didn't the 600RPM "full height" 3.5" drives (the earliest
("FIRST"??) 3.5"
drives?) accept modern "auto-shutter" disks?
I beleive the very first ones didn't
Somewhere I have an old HP 3.5" disk with the pinch-to-close shutter.
I read in one of the HP bopardswapper guidss that thewre was a covnersion
kit fo the 3.5" drive to allow the use of automatcic shutter disks. The
drives in question were, of ocurse, the full-height 600rpm Sony ones.
What the kit consisted of, and how to install it, was not mentions. I
would assume a complete now loading mechanism/disk holder with the leer
to open the shutter.
