Cute Chuck! I got quite a bit of interest for a "straight-11".. more than I
thought. I know you indicated interest in one. When I know how many I will
have total (first week in March) then I will set aside a couple for list
members.. No idea what to trade or how much yet.
But.............................
If you had said DECTape drives then I probably would have taken you up on
it. I can *now* truly appreciate why many dec engineers, field service, and
prior dec employees all call them junk. Many have been guilty of using
Luttig's name in vane... now, me too!
I wonder if TU56s float?

ago.... It had
a carrying case and 12 platters :-(
I'll trade you a couple of MO drives for a PDP 11/20 with 8K of core :-)
