Re: History (was Matching Record (Was Need Help))

System/3 disk models (10, 12, 15).  Had a base 5444 disk unit where F1 
was the Fixed Disk, and R1 was the removable disk pack.  Also you could 
have a second 5444 with F2 & R2.  The 3370 (?) Winchester disks on the model
12's & 15's would emulate the F1 & R1 drives, while th emain data area 
was D1.
