Qs about big tape drives

All right. College is over, and I'm starting to map out plans for my Machine Room of Ultimate Power (Consumption). Trouble is, my 850 sq ft house is not much bigger than an apartment. I've found that vertical storage is my friend here, and I want to use as much of that as I can. I've got this Kennedy 9300 tape transport. It's big like a DEC TE16 and has vacuum columns and such. It will live at the top of a rack. Unfortunately...um...I've never actually *used* one of these big tape drives, or any tape drive for that matter, and I can find zilch docs on it. Are there going to be problems with sticking anything else (storage or processor) under it? Specifically, would vibrations from the 9300 cause problems (e.g. alignment) with a disk drive (e.g. RK05) mounted below it? Could vibrations cause problems (e.g. cards working themselves out of the backplane) with a processor (e.g. 11/34)? -- Jeffrey Sharp
