Hi,
As promised:
The 8" 760 MB SMD disk, with a 3.5" 2 GB SCSI disk for comparison-
http://www.lycanthrope.org/~red/behind/machines/symbolics/disks.jpeg
A billiard ball is depicted in the last two images for
further context.
For reference, an SGI Indigo2 is approximately the size of an IBM 5150 PC,
but a bit more compact.
Billiard ball and that context comparisons (like the 2GB 3.5" hd to
that 8" SMD is very good! Liked that and reminds me of comparing
that 2.5" to a 5.25 FH hd. :-)
That 1MW board looked like you could make it to 2MW board by filling
all the empty spaces with memory chips.
