You guys called me out on it, and you know what, y’all were absolutely right! My understanding of straddle erase versus pre erase was definitely flawed, and I’m so glad you all spoke up about it. This particular drive came from the amazing Dave McGuire over at the Large Scale Systems Museum (https://www.mact.io/) up in Pittsburgh, and in the previous episode, we didn’t get it going. Can we get it going in this episode? Well, at 40+ minutes, I bloody hope so!
