The read head needs an atmosphere to allow it to “fly” above the disk, a vacuum would mean the read head would scrape along the disk and destroy it

I remember 1986. My first computer. 16K of ram expandable to 32K. Basic on a rom, Cassette backup. It was the best of times it was the worst of times……I could not imagine at my young age what computers would become. It has been a great ride.
