I recently stumbled across a early hard drive platter that appears, based on measurements, to be an original RAMAC platter. Very little comes up in Google beyond basic measures (diameter of 24" and a head motion of 6".) I'm curious if there was anything out there that had similar measurements. I did find a photo on facebook but it clearly has different measurements. Platter is in poor condition (no oxide, nicks and dings, etc although still obviously a platter) but the owner is fascinated with possible origin.
I have one. Not in usable conditon, but with glass over it, it makes a great patio table. (using a cheap commercial 24" patio table as a base) -- Grumpy Ol' Fred [email protected]
