For those not able to picture the size of this drive:
14 inch
platters, with cast aluminum base in a box about 10 inches
high by 26 inches deep by 19 inches wide. If this size box were
filled with current run 4gbyte drives, it would contain at least
750 gbytes and probably need about the same amount of power.
A density factor of about 27000:1. Not bad for 15 years.
I'll try to get a digital photo of my units and post them to the VCF web
site.
