The hard drive for the System 23 was the IBM 5247. I have one (in the garage)
it's a large cabinet-style drive that weighs about 120 lbs., and I have never
seen another (although I'm sure Sellam has one in storage). It came in two
varieties, as I recall, 17 or 33 MB. There was no hard drive option for the
5110 (or for that matter the 5100 or 5120).
