Hmmm, I have plenty of older HDs.
Physically my biggest SCSI is an old ST-296N. Capacity-wise I am not sure.
Probably the one in my 8600/200 (unless the Smurf uses SCSI)
I also have some MFM and RLL HDs but I lack an ESDI HD (it's on my list!)
What were the HDs for the Apple and early (Plus, SE, etc.) Macs?
The Commodore computers? The ADAM Home Computers?
I wonder because I have a Commodore Plus/4 and a C=64 as well as an old ADAM
Home Computer. I know the ADAM took tapes but I heard it could use an HD as
well (never investigated this so maybe it was akin to Vaporware)
