Jerome Fine replies:

Hitachi produced the DK516-15 drive which has 1.2 GBytes.
I used to use them both with a real PDP-11 with a Sigma
RQD11-EC controller and on a Pentium 166 MMX with
an Ultrastore (if I remember that controller name correctly)
controller.

I am gradually selling them as I stop needing the backups
I made. They are VERY heavy even for a 5 1/4" full
height drive. I am in Toronto.

Sincerely yours,

Jerome Fine
