- Can anyone identify the tape drives shown in the
pictures? I
believe the one in the Intel iPSC/860 is an Exabyte 8mm one, but the
ones used on the Convex and the Ardent are a mystery to me.

Convexen this also makes sense, because we had a C240 at work in the
90s, and software distribution tapes for it were on DC600 carts. (I
have a box of them I need to image.)
