[cctalk] Re: auction starting in 50 minutes

Wondering, what will happen with the XDS Sigma 9 and the DECsystem 2020 with their disk drives...  To my little understanding, the CDC 9766 of the Sigma and the CDC disk pack drives of the Sigma were the only large disk pack drives known to be operationable. I am truly curious if they will be ever operated again. Though this question applies to all large systems sold during that auction lot.
