When I got myself an old 3/280 together with two Fujitsu Eagle disks
I had a look on the web for infos on SMD disks. At the time (May '96)
I stumbled across some Seagate specs. AltaVista still has some links,
but Seagate seems to have capped the other end:

Seagate Technology, SMD Disc Drive Specifications
     Seagate SMD Disc Drive Specifications. ST41097J. ST41201J. ST6165J.
     ST6315J. ST6344J. ST6515J. ST683J. ST81123J. ST81236J. ST82030J.
     ST82038J. ST82272J....
     http://www.seagate.com/tech/smdtoc.shtml - size 2K - 17 Jun 96

There is however still some data at:
<http://www.mm.mtu.edu/drives/seagate/smd.html>

The ST41097J or ST41201J drives are what you should look out for.
Roughly 1GB in 5.25" full-height format! But if Seagate removed the
info from their site I guess they don't do them anymore...

Andrew.
