I THINK the 370/145 used the same drive.
The "IBM's 360 and Early 370 Systems" book doesn't say so explicitly (it
just
says Minnow - the one with the solenoids - was a"incorporated in .. the
System/370 processors", pg. 517), but given that the follow-on drive
(Figaro/Igar) didn't start shipping until 1973 (pg. 519), and the /145 started
shipping in 1971, it pretty much had to have had a Minnow.
