Disk Capacity....

Kind of off the wall, but the issue came up in a discussion here, and want
to get some solid numbers...

June 2004 Disk Capacity [IDE 5.25] = 250 Gig [approx]
June 2004 Disk Surface Area (total) = ??? Sq inches
          Average Capacity per Sq Inch = ???


RP06 Disk Capacity = ??? [100+ MB]
RP06 Disk Surface Area (total) = ??? Sq inches
          Average Capacity per Sq Inch = ???


The above numbers would yield a hypothetical capacity for a disk (pack) this
size (and number of platter) of an RP06.....

This was brought up in part by seeing a row of 8 RP-06 drives and marveling
at the size [floor space] required for just about 1 Gig of disk....
