It'd be neat to attempt to design an interface for it.

Middle o' Iowa.
There's a mom+pop computer shop in Takoma Park, MD that likes to
stick all
the oldest hardware they have in their front window. The only thing
they
have I've never seen before is a hard disk assembly, in a clear
plastic
case (maybe 30cm by 50cm), 3 platers, with a warranty sticker that
says
IBM and 10SR. I'm curious what sort of systems these were used in.
Does this look right?
