Is Frank Fritz from Köln in this newslist or does anyone know him? His issue of QL Today was returned undeliverable. Did he move recently?

Re: [Ql-Users] WIN
Hi Dilwin ... :-) Just think, Malcolm...if I had a twin brother (no, the world ain't that unlucky!) I could be Dil-WIN1_ and he could be Dil-WIN2_ Could start calling my son Dil-WIN2_ I suppose and not bother to explain to him why :-) With the QL, I think the win_ drive name came from winchester, which was a manufacturers name for hard drives ( not the rifles maker ? ). Ah, of course, I'd forgotten about that. I knew about the name in connection with early hard disk drives, but never appreciated it in connection with the QL WIN drives. -- Dilwyn Jones ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

[Ql-Users] Winchester HD
Re: With the QL, I think the win_ drive name came from winchester... My understanding (c1978) is that someone familiar with the winchester rifle likened hard-drive technolgy to its action. That is, to reload, sweep a segment [seek], collect object of sweep [read] and put the payload [data] into the (business end) breech [a ram array]. Repeat until the object of the exercise is achieved (or not (!) - as the case may be). This is a Welshman's understanding. As has been noted, we know a thing or two about 'rams'. This list has kept me chuckling all day... Thank you contributors. :) John in Wales ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Tony Hi, I seem to recall that the term Winchester actually stems from the city of Winchester, UK - IBM had their first HD factory there. Long gone, however.
