Ah, but WD probably means only clear cover drive in "production"

. That IBM unit was probably built for experimental or display purposes only. But, thanks for the pic, I always wondered what the "first" hard drives looked like--they were already down to ~CD-ROM size when I bought my first one in the early 80s (10MB and I wondered how I'd ever use that much space!).

When I go to Oakland in June for my son's wedding I'll see if I can dig up pictures of the first PC I built back in 77 that used cassette tapes for storage.
