One of my coworker's parents (sorry, don't know their names) worked at HP back in the garage days. They met at HP; the dad was an electrical engineer, and the mother was an industrial designer. They both worked on the "Winchester" hard disk drive prototype, one of the first hard drives. The dad did the electrical work, and the mom designed the enclosure. This one holds a tremendous 10 millibytes of data. :D

And check out this vintage kit! Homebrew days. :D At one point he replaced the 8" drive with 2 "new" 5 1/4" drives, but he could never get them to work with the computer. It appeared to only work with the 8" drive. Has HEX pad for programming the computer.
