    Looks a little small for 5MG. No, they've removed the autopilot and are replacing it with this new miniaturized autopilot.

    Nope, it really is a 5MB drive. Seen pictures of it before, never saw one in real life. Things were like this back in the day when we had data to process.

    An astounding 35MB in a handy transportable container.

    For those who answered, Its a hard disk at 1956....
    The Volume and Size of 5MB memory storage in 1956.
    In September 1956 IBM launched the 305 RAMAC,
    The first computer with a hard disk drive (HDD).
    The HDD weighed over a ton and stored 5MB of data
