On the HP 7906 drives in the AN/USM-429 CAT IIID (Automated Test
Equipment), the single fixed platter had one side for the servo code
that told the heads where they were located, and one side for data, the
OS (RTE IVB baby, yeah!) and some extra space you could use for other
programs. The single removable platter was where the test programs were
kept...
