IBM developed the front loading 2315 disc drive in the 60's, and is the
basis for Diablo 31, Wanco, Pertec, HP 7900, and DEC RK05 2.5Mb single
platter removable disc drives.

>Pertec Blue, I would suspect someone would want them for their Altair 8800b's

   No, these aren't floppy drives.

I know.. take a look at the Pertec adds in Byte in the early 80's, and there
should be pictures of these drives in configurations with late MITS systems
after MITS was bought by Pertec.

Plessey also sold Pertec drives with their clone of the RK-11 disc controller.
