	IBM 305 RAMAC- The First Computer with a Hard Disk Drive in 1956
		IBM introduced the 305 RAMAC computer on September 13th, 1956, which was the first computer to include a disk drive named the IBM 350 Disk File.
		IBM leased the 350 Disk File for a $35,000 annual fee.
		At that time the Instant Replay Deck was introduced, which permitted the storage and playback of brief segments of analog video.

	IBM Archives: IBM 350 disk storage unit
		The IBM 350 Disk Storage was a major component of the IBM 305 RAMAC (Random Access Memory Accounting) system, introduced in September 1956.
		The 305 was a flexible, electronic, general purpose data processing machine that enabled businesses to record transactions as they occurred and concurrently reflect each entry in affected accounts.
		In 1958, the 305 system was enhanced to permit an optional additional 350 Disk Storage Unit, thereby doubling storage capacity; and an additional access arm for each 350.

	Computer History Museum - What's happening - Special Projects
		The Museum has an active computer restoration program, created to better understand historic hardware and software environments for research and collecting purposes as well as to provide visitors with a unique opportunity to experience a historic machine in its original operating condition.
		The system, with a high-speed card reader/punch, line printer, and five reel-to-reel tape drives, had been stored in a garage by a retired IBM customer engineer for over 25 years.
		Shortly after arriving at the Museum, a committed team of local retired IBM customer engineers formed to restore it to working condition.

		Then, in 1952, IBM embarked upon a new research and development programme to investigate the concept of a rotating magnetic disk stack, based on its volumetric efficiency for recording surface storage.
		On the 4th of September 1956, IBM subsequently launched the 350 Disk Storage Unit, which was taken to market by the IBM 305 RAMAC (Random Access Method of Accounting and Control) computer system.
		IBM would officially announce the 305 RAMAC computing system to the media on 13th September 1956.

	The Four Hundred--The Disk Drive at 50: Still Spinning
		Back in September 1956, it was just called the IBM 305 RAMAC, and it wasn't a disk drive so much as computing system attached to a giant disk drive.
		IBM's researchers initially chose a drum for RAMAC instead of a disk platter (which was easier to manufacture) because it was stiffer and therefore it was easier to maintain a consistent space between the drum and the head that read data off the drum or magnetically encoded it on the drum.
		Disk drives of the early 1960s--take the IBM 1311, for example--had a capacity of 3 MB stored on 50 tracks, with an average access time of 150 milliseconds and a spin rate of 1,500 RPM.

	Magnetic Disk Memory Commemorated with Milestone Award
		The story of magnetic disk storage began in 1952, when IBM Corp., based on the East Coast of the United States, in New York City, decided to set up a small research laboratory on the West Coast.
		Perhaps most important, the new IBM 305 computer—a stand alone machine attached to the disk drive system—could access data randomly, an impossible task for magnetic tape or punched cards.
		IBM announced its new technology on 6 May 1955, and the first IBM RAMAC 305 system system with the 350 disk file hit the market more than a year later—on 4 September 1956.

		IBM Corp. was introducing a product that offered unprecedented random-access storage — 5 million characters (not bytes, they were 7-bit, not 8-bit characters).
		IBM made the public announcement the following May and, in September 1956, featured what became known as the IBM 350 as part of the IBM 305 system, which included a card reader and printer.
		When IBM appealed, the award was eliminated and IBM was awarded $18.5 million stemming from a finding that Telex had engaged in trade-secret violations.

		It all started with the research on direct processing solutions at the IBM Lab in San Jose, California, resulting in the shipment of the IBM System 305 and the first hard disk drive, the Random Access Method of Accounting and Control (RAMAC) on September 13, 1956.
		RAMAC used memory disks coated with magnetic iron oxide paint — similar to that used on San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge — and held a total of 5 megabytes (MB) of data on fifty 24-inch platters mounted on a rotating spindle.
		IBM 1311, which used to store two million characters, followed.

	IBM Could Lose Half Its PC Prospects To Dell, HP - Hardware Technology News by TechWeb
		Almost half of the U.S. enterprises who were IBM PC prospects said that they're ready to consider Dell or HP now that the Armonk, N.Y.-based giant is dumping its desktop and laptop business, a research firm reported Thursday.
		Earlier this week, IBM sold its PC business to Lenovo Group, China's biggest computer maker, for $1.75 billion in cash and stock.
		But while IBM executives have been promising that there will be little or no disruption in business as the hand-over takes place, analysts at research firms such as Forrester sang a different tune.

	The IBM 1401
		At $2500 per month minimally configured, this was IBM's first affordable general-purpose computer, and it was intended to take the place of all the accounting machines and calculators that still provided a cheaper alternative to IBM's 650 and 70x computers.
		The 1401 was the first in IBM's 1400 series of computers, which later included the 1410, 1440, and 1460.
		The IBM 1401 -- a predecessor to the System 360 -- had all the processing power and memory of today's arcade games, but it ran three shifts a day, seven days a week keeping track of an inventory of 105,000 items supporting requisitions worth $32 million a month.
