    Does that old beast have two platters in it?
    If so; that drive in it’s day was considered a MASS STORAGE DEVICE with it’s 5 megabyte capacity.

    If it was a little more flat on top I could put a picture on it, but I couldn't store a copy of it on the HDD!!

    We purchase laptop computers and many components for greater than scrap value. We offer a shipping reimbursement program.replies
