I don't know about the others, but the IBM 3340 was the *original*
Winchester drive. (Not "a" Winchester, but *The* Winchester.)

The 3340 was rolled out in 1973, but they certainly were still in service
in 1977, so that's consistent.
I'm sure the floppies are still readable; I've read many 8" IBM 3740 floppies
form the early 70's without a problem.
