It looks like one of the several 8-inch cartridges and associated drives
from the early 1980s. Manufacturers included Amcodyne,
CDC (9454/5/7),
Century Data, Data Peripherals, DEC (RC25) and Vermont Research
I doubt if Dysan made WORM
Take a good look at the drive, it should have a technical data plate listing
the manufacturer. If the plate is missing, the pchs should have the drive
manufacturers name or logo.

Hi,
can someone identify this disk cartridge and drive?

I don't have better quality photos.
The cartridge is made by Dysan and is about 8" in size.
