A helical scan recording drive, with a high-speed rotating head sweeping across the tape every few micrometers. Based on a professional video recording system, modified to be suitable for digital data recording. These are commonly used with large computer systems, typically in conjunction with a robotic tape library.

These are magnetic coil bands designed by IBM with 6250 BPI. BPI means bits per inch and specifies the data density a magnetic coil can hold.
This media disk, used for stored audio and visual information, has a stronger binding system than the tape and can last a million uses.
This card, based on a "4 slot DEC module", arbitrated the access priority of 15 datalinks of a CERNET node. Each datalinks could transfer data full duplex at 2.5 Mbit/sec over 1 Km of twisted pair (POD) cable. This was the frontier technology in 1980. The modest amount of integrated circuits was compensated by printing on the board photographs of the hardware designers, whose Belgian, Dutch and French nationality was underlined by the the short poem.
It has been introduced at CERN in 1994 and used until recently in the DEC TL820 robot. It has a capacity of 10 GB and 1.25 MB/s.
Intel quad core processor in its casing and mounted with copper heats sink on a motherboard.
It's the M-Office DW 500 Typewriter.
Control units were connected to the channels with "Bus and Tag" cable pairs. The bus cables carried the address and data information and the tag cables identified what data was on the bus. There were three general types of bus-and-tag cables produced by IBM.
MFM Hard Drive with a capacity of 20 Mb.
Intel’s first dual-core Itanium processor, code-named "Montecito" is a major release of Intel's Itanium 2 Processor Family, which implements the Intel Itanium architecture on a dual-core processor with two cores per die (integrated circuit). Itanium 2 is much more powerful than its predecessor. It has lower power consumption and thermal dissipation.
