The 8.4 Mb drives for the Model II were (the drive unit itself) a

even worse than the ones for the (Centronics) Line Printer 1 and the
(Diablo) Daisy Wheel Printer 1. The later hard disks were mostly
Tandon, at least until the company caved in to the PC compatible

Back then SA4000, Memorex M101s were as common as the new ST506/412
drives. I have a M101 here operational on a CCS s100 crate big and
like most of the 8"s clear plastc cover to watch the goings on.
