Well to satisfy my craving for a 9-track tape drive I
have decided
to start looking for something I can manage. Yes, I would love a
3240 or that massive IBM 5360 (system/36?) on the Vintage computer
marketplace but I have to get serious and remember that that kind
of gear weighs too much for a teen like me to ship.
Anyways, yeah I am looking for an IBM 9348 scsi tape drive. I was
looking into using it in a little IBM 360 emulator that runs on
Ubuntu but mainly it's for bragging rights (Chicks dig guys with
big drives). Now while it is samller it's still hjeavy (if you
alrready have one than you understand me here) so if you want to
part with yours PLEASE promise me that it works before I shell out.
It would be nice to get one locally too.
Identification photos can be found on the link below.

That drive looks suspiciously like an HP 88780.
