A double-sided removable hard disk with a capacity of 1 MB on each side. Univac published a brochure, according to which the Unidisc was intended for the UNIVAC 1004 and 1005 computers. I haven't found any photographs of the 1004 or 1005 systems with a Unidisc drive on the web, which leads me believe this was a prototype never released as a product.
A few other points:
MDM-12,but according to an Applied Magnetics brochure, the MDM-12 was a fixed hard disk with up to four platters and a potential capacity of 16 MB.
