The "Adrian's Digital Basement 2" Channel took a "Plus+ Hardcard" drive and found something similar.

Colin from "This Does Not Compute" used the same Kapton tape fix on an Apple tablet prototype: https://youtu.be/OM64l8tZSwY?t=293

I was wondering whether the flat tape makes some cylinders physically inaccessible but it seems like this is not an issue.

Wow, that was my first PC HDD. (I had a 10MB HDD in my Sirius 1 before that)

Bought at an Egghead somewhere the Computer Museum in Boston while on vacation from the UK -- about half the price of something similar in England at the time due to exchange rate.
