If this was AI's main disk controller, it probably ought to say 'xxx-'''type''''drives; AI had the dual-high Calchomps (I don't remember the exact model number; they were the common ones from that era). [[User:Jnc|Jnc]] ([[User talk:Jnc|talk]]) 14:42, 8 July 2019 (CEST)

-: Thanks, I'm working on a software simulation and just found some more information.  I think they were Calcomp 215's.  The code talks about previous Memorex drives with half the capacity.  There is inactive code to map those to the upper or lower half of a Calcomp.

-: I'm trying to boot (AI) ITS 724 from 1972.  It expects to use the smaller packs, so I believe we a lower bound in time for the introduction of Calcomps to AI.
