That's bullshit.
I have an IBM 9-track tabletop that isn't getting powered up till I
get docs. Period. I don't feel like taking a chance with it, because
it's a damn nice drive.
Is that defeatist or lazy? Hardly. I've got several other working
9-tracks, I can't replace the IBM if I hose it, I can't repair it
without the docs, and I can afford to leave that one sitting till I
get the info I want.
Looks to me like Ron's in the same shape. The SE *works*, as-is.
If he wants to leave it in a working state till he can learn more
about it, who are you to call him derogatory names?
