The drive mechanism is 18" x 14" x 12". The enclosure that holds the 
disks is transparent and the disks themselves are orange (shades of 
iMac!) and are about 8" across. Like big, thick, orange 45 records.

Sorry for the very non-sun-ness of all this. I guess anyone else who has 
questions about my junked IBM babyframe should email just me.
