This is a tri-density upright unit with formatted Pertec interface. It worked the last time I used it, but, as I look at it now, it appears that the backup battery on the CPU board has failed. It would likely be necessary to run through the calibration procedure after replacing the battery. (I recall doing the calibration before, so it must be in the manual. These drives have an RS232 port to control the diagnostics.) I also have an extra drive (with mechanical problems) for spare parts; they should probably go together.
