The history of computer data storage in picturesOK... 2 mins of serching on the internet revealed the following:
__________________
"The IBM 3380 Direct Access Storage Device was introduced in June 1980. It used new film head technology and had a capacity of 2.52 gigabytes with a data transfer rate of 3 megabytes per second. Average access time was 16 ms. Purchase price at time of introduction ranged from $81,000 to $142,200. Due to problems encountered, the first units did not ship until October, 1981." "In 1977 three Japanese companies - Sony, Mitsubishi, and Hitachi, demonstrated their optical digital audio disk (DAD) systems which used large disk, about 30 cm in diameter (like the LP records). By 1978, Philips developed a much smaller version of DAD. It used disks with a diameter of only 11.5 cm. After some negotiations, a compromise was reached and the modern CD was born with a diameter of 12 cm and with 74 minutes of play-back time. This is the approximate length of a Beethovens Ninth Symphony." Cheers: Chris My System: Willy Wonka's Polygon Factory
