Hi all
I just found 3 packages of Masstor data cartridges. They are cylindrical
about 2 1/2 inches in diameter, about 4 inches long and look to be covered
with some sort of oxide surface. They are hollow and have a kind of snap in
connector on one end. I have examined the Web and the only references I
find are for large mass storage devices for supercomputer and particle
accelerator labs. I seem to remember, from some movie, some sort of robot
arm storage device that picked cylindrical cartridges out of a honeycomb
structure and inserted them in to a reader/writer. Very large storage,
about 360 GB, late 80's early 90's time frame.
Any information would be approciated
