The 2147 that I thought I still had turned out to be
MB2149-45 (Fujitsu). I vaguely recall that they are indeed
compatible with the 2147 but their pin-outs are mirrored
The datecode = 8204
45 = 450ns accesstime
Can you confirm this (I can't find the databook right now)

Ahh, the Presto tour. I caught that one a couple of times.
Was the 5'2" teenybopper cute?

For floppies, I just break 'em open any way I can,
and then use bare, clean hands with dish detergent.
Let dry on a lint-free rag and you're through.
For 9-track magtapes that had either mold or
lichens growing (after a flood), I unspooled
and manually cleaned about 100 feet of the tape
using Formula 409.
The tape was subsequently readable, recovering
100% of the data and programs on the last night
my Prime was still operational; however, I was
using my previously-discussed "wet read" technique.

Ahh yes, Rush is my all-time favorite band. Wonderful stuff!

Hmmm... Being quite the Rush fan (waiting for them to finish the
albumn, and come around on tour!), I have to politely disagree with the
Power Windows recommendation. My suggestion is to buy the Chronicles 2 CD
set. It's probably on tape too, maybe even vinyl! You should be able to find
it used. It covers Rush's first 20 years, and the style changes they've went
through.
If not that, I would recommend Rush (first albumn) for good classic
rock, or Roll The Bones and Test For Echo for more modern rock.

Not only will they give you the boxes and other supplies, they will deliver
the stuff to you. You can go to the PO and get an order form, fill it out,
and mail it (postage paid). You can also go to www.usps.com or call
their 800 number.
The minimum order for most boxes is 1 bundle of 25 boxes. There is also
a minimum on some other items. All this is listed on the form. IIRC, they
send you a letter asking you to estimate future needs and also ask you to
verify that you intend to use the stuff for its intended purpose. Yeah,
right,
like I intended to use them for my bottlecap collection. ;)
So if you're constantly sending your small stuff to other
packrats^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H collectors on this list, this may be a way to go.
Probably as close to a free lunch as you can get these days.

If no one else wants them, I'll take them (I have an extra or two right
now, so if someone else wants them, give them first dibs)
I'm in Ridgewood (North-East NJ)

I have a PWS500a with 3x4Gb disks ... two are dedicated to Linux and
one is Tru64... I can boot whichever I want whenever.
My other alpha is an AXPpci33 166Mhz CPU overclocked to 200Mhz, rock
solid and running Linux (working on getting RHL7.2 on it to do some
testing)
