Um, SOL50 fell in my lap

so ... what IS a SOL50??? Bob Stek was thinking maybe a SOL20. What puzzles me
is the 750MB disk drives. Thinker Toys certainly never produced a 750 MB drive
that I ever heard of, since the biggest hard disks of the era were on the order
of 30 MB, and those were the size of a washing machine.

This might be quite interesting! Please provide more details.
