Kienzle 6100 - HAWK/DIABLO Disc Pack

This short movie shows a 5Mb HAWK or DIABLO Disc Pack being loaded into a Kienzle 6100 computer.
The reason I've included this movie is that the disc loading procedure is identicle to that used when loading a disk onto an 8870/M10.

Of course, on an 8870 you had to wait 5 minutes for the removable disc pack to warm up, then it would need to be installed before use.

I'm guessing the video clip sequence has been shortened... by around 10 minutes - and I love the printer self-test pattern :)
