was the IBM
3380/3880 (cant remember which) DASD units of which there were 4
rows of them.
Now that I have done a bit of sniffing around, I see that you are correct
for both of your numbers - the 3880s controlled (and cached) the 3380s.
Of course, this brings up a thought: with numbers like that, I wonder how
many times the installation engineers went to the dock, only to find out
the wrong crate was shipped.

Is that slapping belt driven by brushed massive motor and a dual head
racks on opposed fashion like lycoming? Well, we had one fail,
spindle bearings started to groan and lose speed. :) and you can see
those rust colored platters through that semi-smoked plastic
housings. The platter axle is horizontal and in front/back
direction in relation to user when opening or closing that banging
sheetmetal blue doors. I think it was between 10 or 14
thick platters.
What exactly how much MB or MW that was? :)
