One of our legends around the Machine Room is about an operator
who went out to mount a removable disk pack on one of the Tops-20s.
She came back to the console room a few minutes later saying that she
had put the pack in the drive but the cover wouldn't come off.

It seems that, somehow, she managed to get the whole pack in the drive,
bottom plate and all.  To this day, nobody knows how she managed this, but
we are sure of how upset the hardware people were!
