It's an ancient hard disk platter, about 31"
in diameter and maybe 1/8"
thick. It's made by 3M and has a label sporting a serial number and
inspection /waxing/etc dates from November of 1966. Any ideas what kind
of drive this would have belonged to? Any ideas on capacity?
I have a couple of photos at http://yahozna.dyndns.org/computers/platter.
I'd love to know what this went to. It looks nice on my wall, right
next to the IBM Microdrive...
I have a somewhat similar one. Mine had been left behind when Merritt
College cleared out a 1620 and a 1401 at the end of the 1960s.
