To format a new disk or partition, one had to tell the PRIMOS MAKE program which model it was wrangling. This name was sometimes a fairly generic size or type string, sometimes a Prime marketing model number, etc. Remembering which MAKE and which type string was a headache. This is a list of various models as understood by a number of different MAKE programs known to BORIS at the time it was compiled.
