[comp.periphs] What is this drive?

A while ago I asked for help in identifying a mysterious disk drive so I
could get it to work. Thank you, it works now, but I still don't know what
it is. I do, however, know that it is a CDC 8-inch fixed disk, and has 1217
tracks, 10 heads, and 48 sectors/track. (Oh. SMD interface, too.)

Can anybody out there tell me the model number or something?

Both the CDC Sabre 368 megabyte and 500 megabyte drives have that
number of cylinders.  There are three different types of drives
for each of those sizes in the series, so the exact model number
is impossible to determine without more information.
