I have a pair of 9404's with terminals and networking hubs and cables.
Are there any parts in them that may be used in other systems?
Harddrives, tapedrives, chips?
CISC 9404 and 9402's that I have seen typically have crappy 150MB oem
Tandberg QIC tape drives. Supposedly they are very finicky with their
SCSI-I. I never bothered to do much with mine.
The disk drives (if not too small to be useful) can be reformatted to 512
byte sectors and used elsewhere. I am using an IBM 0661 now from an
AS/400 in a Netbsd DECstation 5000/260 as a second drive.
I had a CISC 9402 which had normal looking SIMMs in it, tho I never
bothered to figure out if they actually did fit in anything else.
I have not had my mits on a RISC model to date.
