        In case anyone wants to take a look ... I shot a couple of quick
pictures of these huge IBM disk drives and stuck them:

        No good reference for scale, but they are about 4' long X 2' dia
and weigh approx 140 pounds [that's not including the motor & belt drive
visable in picture 1]. These were mounted as pictured [upright], 2 to a
cabinet, the motors were mounted above the drives and ran a 1.5" width
belt down to the drive pulley. I can hardly beliefe these are circa
1985!
        Cheers, Craig
