Talk:IBM 305 RAMAC
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is informative but wrong. The IBM 305 series was not a drum storage setup but was in fact the first production of a stacked disc hard drive, sporting 50 discs measuring 2 foot in diameter. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.25.19.64 (talk) 18:14, April 8, 2006
- Yes, I believe you are correct about it not using drum storage. A different model used drum storage, the IBM 310. Note that IBM had some other models as well: the 307 used trumpet storage, the 292 used a combo piano and saxaphone storage setup, and the IBM 405-012 had a trombone storage unit. IBM also produced another model in limited quantities, the IBM 7, which used a cello storage unit. Customer demand for this model was very low, as there were too many strings attached. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.200.116.136 (talk) 21:58, September 3, 2006
- First comment appears to have been serious; second one is just silly. —SaxTeacher (talk) 19:01, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
