These are the leftovers from an HP mag tape upgrade.
The 7980 is a very
popular mag tape unit that is OEM'd to a number of other computer companies.
The 88780 is the OEM model number for this drive. There are a couple kits
to convert from SCSI to HPIB interfaces. It sounds like you have the
remains of
the upgrades. There also was an upgrade to convert from the 4 board set to the
3 board set...
Appreciate the info. Seems a few other people have told me the same thing as well
so it appears that's what I have. I have a couple of people lined up for them so
we'll see what comes from them. This must have been a pretty good sized mag tape
unit.
