The Oct 1 1990 issue of Electronic Engineering Times has a brief
article on page 16 describing Maxtor's announcement of a 3.5" drive
that holds (get this!) 535Mb. It has a 128Kb cache, access times
average 12ms for reads and 13ms for writes, and a 6Mb/sec peak
transfer rate through synchronous SCSI.
The article doesn't mention its weight, but I probably wouldn't mind
carrying one through an airport, inside an appropriate machine :-)
