Incidentally, the Fuji Eagle manual is titled
"M2351A/AF Mini-Disk
Drive Customer Engineering Manual". Most weenies today wouldn't call
a drive that weighed over 100 pounds "Mini", but they don't know what
they're talking about!
I was at a hamfest this morning. I picked up an IBM 120mb 3.5" full-height
SCSI drive in some guy's $1 bin. He said "man, isn't that a huge old
honker?!"
I explained to him slowly and carefully that I could walk because of moving an
RA80 last night. After explaining in detail what an RA80 is, the guy never
made another comment as to the "huge" size of this 3.5" drive in his $1
bin.
I was amused. :-)
