The unobtainium piece of the Seequa collection has arrived, and wow is it smaller than I imagined! The Tabor 3.25” drivette for these little disks were designed in a collaborative effort between Dysan Corporation from California, Tabor Corporation from Massachusetts, and Seequa Computer Corporation from Maryland. These rigid plastic disks could hold 500K on a single disk, and were to be the new “golden standard” of format for any luggable IBM compatible.

I will have my 3.25” disk, my NOS Drivette, and the Tabor edge adapter on display alongside my Seequa research at VCF East and VCF Midwest!

@foone You have one of these too if I'm not mistaken? One of the Dysan-branded ones?

@foone I actually just found your Twitter thread on the Tabor stuff. Firstly, I am beyond jealous of whomever has the drive enclosure thing you posted about (pictured). Secondly, I am beyond jealous of that pre-release Tabor diskette. That is awesome! Do you care if I cite those photos on the Seequa preservation site from you as a part of the Seequa 325 page whenever I get around to publishing it?
