This is probably not relevant for any disk drives, but anyway: Atleast in some Philips reel-to-reel recorders from the 60's they used belts that had a cross section with three or five corners. The reason is that it both has to fit into the cutting in a wheel and also roll against a flat drive wheel or something similar, and using the wrong kind of belt will quickly wear out a rubber wheel. Smart at the time, problematic nowdays. Don't know if any disk drive uses something similar. -- (\_/) Copy the bunny to your mails to help (O.o) him achieve world domination.
