Thanks!
I am taking the whole system. It's in a rack with a PDP-11/34A, a System Industries
9400 controller, and what looks to me like a Fujitsu M228x series hard drive:

I grabbed the M228x manuals from Bitsavers to look up how the spindle and positioner
locks work. I had been planning to de-rack it all so my dad and I could load it into my
pickup truck in bite-sized pieces, but I think I would be better off renting a box truck
with a lift gate.
What are the chances that it's the same PDP-11/34A that Warner did backups on? :D
Would the brown panel between the tape drive and computer be a filler panel, or part of
the 11/34A? I don't know anything about the system configuration yet other than what
can be seen in that picture.
Is this the system that was on Reddit?
