Applications

Magnetic Peripherals Inc. was a subsidiary of Control Data Corporation (CDC), one of the major early hard drive manufacturers that supplied OEM drives to IBM, Apple, and other computer makers during the 1980s. The 94208-51 is a mid-1980s vintage IDE hard drive from the early era of the ATA/IDE interface standard. Drives of this type were used in IBM PC/XT and AT-compatible desktop computers, early CAD workstations, and industrial computing equipment of the period. Today, surviving examples are sought primarily by vintage computer collectors and restorers working on period-correct systems, or by technicians needing a parts donor for logic board components or mechanical assemblies. This drive is sold as-is and is best suited for those applications.
