When the company I worked for finally stopped using what seemed like acres of those machines, your company probably went bust.

I worked in the Advanced Disk Technology Division at my company. We were working on an 8" winchester drive that had 80mb of storage...thought we were hot stuff! While it was still in development, we heard that some Japanese company had introduced a 160mb drive in a 5" form. It was shortly after that the whole division was dismantled and everyone in it was laid off.
