Just to document it a bit : here are some pictures of a Honeywell-Bull D120 Mididisk, also known as the Honeywell-Bull Cynthia drive.
It uses neatly packaged 10Mb 10" cartridges, of of the first to use embedded servo-information. A user guide is on Bitsavers.

Used in the Datapoint 9310/320 and the first generation of the ETH/Diser Lilith. Also in some Bull systems of course.

And should anyone have a spare unit, or cartridges, I'd be more than interested ! Because it is a crucial part of my Lilith, and contains an ASIC and loads of house-numbered TTL parts....
