Can anyone identify the 14" HDD seen in the following photo (not mine)? It's unusual in that there are two moving heads on the top surface of the platter. I presume that there's a fixed head on the bottom surface for the clock track. This is from a Data General 6100 disc subsystem which is advertised as 25MB capacity. There's a related model with half that capacity.

While I presume that the 25-signal twisted-pair ribbon cable is for control signals, there is also a 16(?) line grey ribbon cable connected to the left side of the DG-specific power control PCB. I'm guessing that would be data/clock lines from hidden electronics where the 25-signal twisted-pair ribbon originates; not sure what else may be then happening on the DG-specific power control PCB. Thank you for any insights into manufacturer, model, and documentation. -paul
