Disk types

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). 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.
