Nice. This could be a really nice system, or a huge boat anchor.
This looks a lot like a development system we'd have in the RTE Lab in the
late 70s/early 80s. 7925s were 120MB removeable packs, 7920s were
100MB(IIRC). Across a string of several drives I remember 7925s having
fairly frequent head crashes - maybe on the order of one every 6 months or
so.
