Was/is a 1080MB Quantum Fireball.
Don't know if its the original disk but manufacturing date suggests it might be.
Happy that I could backup the contents before it inevitably goes to hardware heaven =)Ah, yeah with thinking about it, I can't remember seeing a Fujitsu 3.5 IDE bigger than 300MB so maybe their HDD venture died off early 90s... I'm not sure their PC arm went on much longer, they were in bed with Siemens Nixdorf through mid to late 90s. It's possible your machine will have similarities with the Scenic line of theirs.
If my memory doesn't fail me then Fujitsu definitely had drives in the Gigabyte range (3 4 6 8 10.. ). Can't say I liked them, tended to fail quite often, at least the batches I had the pleasure of working with.
Right to repair is fundamental. You own it, you're allowed to fix it.
