Probably not too useful a remark, but I remember from years ago when we had
some Xerox Altos at the Stanford computer science department that the disk
drives were very prone to head crashes. We were instructed to never attempt
I am suprised... These drives are similar technology and bit density to
the DEC RK05, and presumably have a similar head flying height. My
experience of RK05s is that they don't crash that often, and when they do
the heads are not always destroyed.
