I've recently accquired a CDC 9775 hard drive. (675mb
fixed media) It's going to need some cleaning to get
it running, and I need to know some info on how to set
it up. Most importantly, the heads are locked, and
according to a warning note taped to the HDA, so is
the spindle. I want to find out how to _properly_ do
this. Unlocking the heads looks simple, but I don't
see a spindle lock anywhere. Also, this drive doesn't
use the typical little plugs to change the ID, so I am
not sure how it is set.
Bitsavers has the operator's manual, but I really need
the service manual, or at least the installation
manual.
Thanks!
