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!

I like that the NO-RISK™ DISK has an exposed recording surface.
@smiteri probably couldn’t fit “SOME RISK PROBABLY LIKELY RISK DEPENDING ON GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION, HUMIDITY, AMBIENT DUST, MISALIGNED WRITE HEADS, OR THE WEATHER FORECAST OF THE SUN”… or is that what the quotes symbolize?
