Hi Doug, The ones that I remember, that were used with PC's, actually had the name Winchester emblazoned on the front (visible, since they were full height drives). I assume the company that built them was named Winchester, though I don't remember if there was a link to the firearms manufacturer or not. There well could have been. Diversification was happening then, too.

Yep, but that term goes back to when that type of drive was developed for "big iron". At least supposedly. It could be an urban legend, though.
