We had some of those Fujitsus attached to a Data General S/130, instead 
of the usual 190 MB Zebra and 90 MB ??? drives.  There was a name for 
the Fujitusus, but I've forgotten that as well.  There was also the 10 + 
10 MB Gemini cartridge/fixed disk and a 5 + 5 MB ??? cartridge/fixed 
drive that I also maintained.  It's been so many years since I worked on 
that stuff.
