It seems to cover older drives, up to the first one and two gig drives. in the "hard drive peramters" chapters for example: Alps America: 8 entries from 10 to 212 MB, Ampex: 4 entries, 5, 10, 15 , and 20 mb, Areal tech: 6 entries, 62 to 136mb (all IDE 2.5" notebook drives) .. BASF: 5 entires, 23, 15, 8, 10, 21mb (all MFM) etc... It's a bit PC centric.
