Would it be feasible to remove the skins and set it on
its side (on
a quilt)?
Yes, that's my preferred way for transporting H9642's when they can't
be moved standing up. The quilt is there to protect your truck bed,
not the rack :-). Again, make sure the side panels don't blow away,
there's a pair of VAX 11/750 top panels *somewhere* along the side of the Santa
Monica freeway that disappeared once during a haul of mine...
I'll at least be transferring the plexiglass tape
drive window
to the Cipher I have for the Prime. BTW, I asked the seller to
check the rear plate of the TS05, thinking it *is* a Cipher F880
and he came back and said it has only a TS05 ID plate.
The front bezel is *identical* to the F880 streamer. Do you know
yea/nay on this?
Mechanically, they're identical except for the nameplates. There may
be slightly different firmware/electronics, but these vary depending on the
F880 rev level anyway.
