   I once took apart a Loral 1553 bus-analyzer that had 3 or 3.25 inch
drives. I gave the drives and disks to Don Maslin. IIRC the disks were made
by Dysan. I don't remember who make the drives but it was one of the common
manufacturers.

   Yes, you should be able to find a lot of information in the archives.
