The phrase "MSD" used to stand for "Mass Storage Device" in the
early Apollo (pre DN3000/4000) price list. For instance, the 500 MB
CDC 9715 drives that came with the DSP80/80A/90 file servers were
listed as MSD500-M in the price list. These (CDC 9715) drives are
indeed SMD drives. I'm not certain about the DN300/320/330 drives.
They might actually be ST506(?) drives.
