Okay! Okay! I remember ...

I had a prototype personal computer disk drive Wang was working on that really predated any of the PC microdrives.

They fashioned a formica top that sat on top of a metal case (actually an empty MV2000 chassis for those familiar with the gear). Underneath was the spindle moter. On top a plater clamping knob that retracted and extended wire fingers meant to hold down the single platter. And then there was the head retactor to move the two read/write heads, one on top and the other for the bottom platter surface. Topped of with a smokey plastic hinged cover that looked more like a record player dust cover. I must add that it was an antique when I worked there, I'm not THAT old! <img src="images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
