10Mb "hard card", I remember those. Big chunky things.

My Dad had one in his Amstrad PC1512. I know, I fitted it!!

Also remember the real old 5.25" full-height 10Mb ESDI drives (Rodime I think the ones I had were), where you had to LLF yourself with a debug command and manually enter the defects. The defects were on a paper printout inside a plastic envelope stuck the drive!!

yep... I remember those ages
a friend of mine had a PC with an MFM 5.25" drive. the whole desktop was moving as the drive was seeking
But i know it is not a rare experience, everyone over 35 could have seen such thing

I have the cabinet (minus the side panels) of a Control Data BK7 series 300MB storage module drive. For a while I was using it as a tool trolley. Now it's a mobile saw table.

I also have the voice coil magnet somewhere. It finds everything I drop on the floor. In fact I could probably anchor a boat with it.

IIRC, I used the 240VAC 1/2HP (?) motor to replace the one in my 500 CFM air compressor.

I remember that I got AU$70 as scrap value for the aluminium deck. Nowadays that would buy me a whole drive.

Still looking for PCB for it

Has some body ever tried to recover data of cassette tapes? Those types that were used in the commodore type console; there was something else that was made in Russia - every time you changed a tape you had to re-align the heads.. I remember trying to use one of those in Poland about 1985.We had some of the first IBM 2mhz XT machines released back in South Africa then.

Omg. Are those platters made of steels ?
We can use this drive in a battle

Nice one Mr.Rameez

Some of us should really have a museum sort of place for such drives

The great museum of hard drives - The history of storage

I thought I had the world by the ass in the late 80's when I finally got a Miniscribe full height 10 megabyte MFM hard drive. EISA motherboards and EISA configuration files...
