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.
It was more than just the nickname - it was the project name. 3340 was
Winchester, as 3330 was Merlin.
I would like to get some junk 3348 datapacks for the 3340. Crashed is OK -
I need one to rebuild and check the load mechanism in a 3340. I could also
use 3330 docs, too.
