They were simply called disks or disk drives and tapes were called just tapes since the term "tape drive" was what was the dock for a tape. Further, many of the early disks were like tapes in that the media and the drive were separate entities. So the vocabulary and the packaging technologies were changing rather quickly and the vocabulary was rather a mesh mash by the early/middle 19670s. I think this is one of those discussions where everybody will be partially correct and partially ignorant of some periods when history doesn't agree with them. -- Jeff Barnett
