Right... with a bit of effort (and some swearing) I've managed to get the copper cover off without completely destroying it. I've discovered that it is in fact a hard drive, albeit a very small one. I have no idea what capacity it is, although I shall be conducting experiments on it as soon as Igor, my assitant, returns with some fresh body parts.

I've just been handed an object that apparently came from our old building before we moved. Someone's just been over for the final time to get anything we might want. This object is about the size of a cigarette packet/deck of cards, has what looks like an ide 40 pin connection at one end, and a standard 4 way power connection, but with only two (red and black) cables in it. It's covered in a plasticised copper foil case which has holes in it for mounting screws and looks kinda like a hard drive, but I've never seen one like it before. I have no idea how old it is, nor does the packaging give any clues either - it's a standard clear anti-static plastic bag with a piece of foam in it... Does anyone have any ideas???
