These 3MB ones were definitely Olivetti - this was from an ex-Acorn employee who worked on the drive project. 3MB to 20MB seems a big jump - but it makes me wonder if they were working with drives that had three surfaces masked out due to manufacturing defects; one surface would be 5MB, and going from 3MB per surface in a pre-production drive to 5MB in
Do you have a part number for the Olivetti drive? I think that taking a 10MB drive and downgrading it to a 3MB one wouldn't be a paying venture.
