The Panasonic 11 Meg drive is, as far as I know, real.
Some claimed specs:

640 tracks per side, 35,000 bits per inch
16 MB unformatted, 11 MB formatted
2 Mbits/s transfer rate
SCSI interface, self-formatting
Average seek <60 ms; track-to track 10 ms
Can read (but not write) 1MB and 2MB disks
"micro-stepping" motors give high speed and 2 um tracking accuracy


Evaluation units supposedly available in July, and a list price of $250.

The info I have has this address attached, but it's not labeled
as a "contact address" or anything:

Panasonic Industrial Co.
Memory Systems Division
1600 McCandless Drive
Milpitas, California 95035
(408) 262-2200
