"Streaming type" front loader 9 trk drives
are a dime-a-dozen - there's a
couple on the shlf at WierdStuff for $50 and that's about half too much -
but there are plenty of the Cipher 880s, HP and M4 Data drives out there.
I picked up a TSZ07 (DEC-badged SCSI 9 track) a while back for $50, with an
Alpha server attached - one processor (out of two possible), 384MB, three
disk shelves, CD-ROM, DAT, 2 x 10BaseT. I really was after the tape drive,
but the computer was a nice addition (it used to run the library on-line
card catalog at Ohio State).
