Harddrive collectors

Hi all, I subscribed to the list half a year ago, but I think I never told you what I collect. I'm a guy (20) from Germany and what I like is collecting old harddrives. Strange aeh ? You certainly will agree when I tell you what a friend told me (DEC-fanatic guy): " Harddives are a part of computers, I need them for example to upgrade old mainframes, but I wouldn't just collect them!" ...I purchased a PDP11/23 to test my SMD-drives (you remember my mails: "PDP11?/23 and QD32" ?). Rescueing old drives has become a task for me. A webpage containing all the disks WITH photos is my next plan, so that people, who find old drives can refer to the photos. So don't be surprised if my emails refer to drives in most cases. Are there other harddrive collector in this forum ? By the way, I have manuals for disk drives of the Trident Series (Century Data Systems). If anyone needs them , please let me know. I don't have a lot of time at the moment but scanning the docs will be done in the coming months.
