Few survive. Some even came with a HP-IB interface.
Fortunately, we resuced a couple of drives like this along with
some HP-1000 systems a few weeks ago. They went to a collector
in York (northern England). We even managed to find the alignment
fixtures and the special gadget with lights and switches that
you need if you're going to do maintenance work on the drive.
