my guess is laying it on its rear would be the best
bet. If available cardboard boxes on the flat provide
good insulation from shock.

I'm very interested in the CR11 PROMs if you have or can find them
anywhere. I just submitted a CR/CD simulator to the latest release of
SIMH. I've tested it most ways but I have neither the boot PROMs nor
the XXDP test deck. [I do have some other test deck images, though.]
Thanks,
John

If you were going to ship it yourself this looks like a good reference
on how to crate an arcade cabinet. You'd probably have to pay someone
else a lot for their time to get them to do this for you:
http://www.mikesarcade.com/arcade/crating.html
(This website also lists various interesting parts for sale, such as
N82S126 PROMs, which I think is the correct part for HP-21MX boot
PROMs, for about half of the Jameco price.)
Quick question, is it safe to lay an arcade cabinet on its side to
transport it? I've told the people wanting to know that it needs to
be transported standing up.

Standing up is best. If it must be laid flat it's best to remove or
properly secure things like coin boxes and tilt switches.
Power supplies are usually heavy and mounted in the base of the cabinet,
these can break lose if there is significant sideways shock.

I'm curious about the disk. MPI was selling to DG in this time frame. This
might be one of the many variations of the CDD or the Hawk. Can you look at
the label on it without too much trouble? Or send a picture of the innards?

isnt it HDV - High Differential Voltage. Sorry to be a
nit-picker. And how exactly does one pick a nit?

For the stationary room-flooding fire extinguisher installations, they now have other gases/mixtures such as Argon, Novec 1230, Inergen or Argonite. I don't know if these are also used in hand-held fire extinguishers.

Yes and no... I tore my unit apart and spent an afternoon with a DVM
and a pad of paper and reverse-engineered the DB25 external floppy
connector. I rigged up a simple, non-robust
25-pin-ribbon-cable-to-34-pin-floppy-connector harness and pulled a
+5V-only (no +12V required) Matsushita floppy out of the junk bin and
got it going that way.
I do not have a packaged floppy for the unit. I also do not have a
DB-44HD (3 rows of pins in a DB shell) external CD-ROM cable - wish I
did.

At the moment, I only have the RAM that came with each of my boards
(in the Planar housing and in the keyboard bases) - I haven't had
anything, really, to attempt to upgrade any of them with.
