Nice.. I have a 9845B staying in my kitchen...
No I don't need the kitchen for cooking..
Sounds like my kitchen. It currently occupied by an Alpha Micro 100, a
dual 8" drive cabinet for an Altair and a few others. Yes, I still cook
there, just have to step around stuff.
Now the 9845B didn't start and it seeemd to be a problem with the
tapedrives. They made no sound and so sduring the initial routine
the 9845 waits for somethind and seems to hang..
That's common with the HPs. The tape drive wheel melts and doesn't drive
the tape and the motor runs and runs. I don't think they ever time out,
they seem to just keep running and waiting for the tape to get where it
should be.
Glad to hear someone else out there has a 9845.
