I'd better hang on to my 9914 then ! It's a quad-density model

I'm with Nico. It's definitely an M4 Data drive. I have a very similar
model (a 9900), and it looks almost exactly like the pictures. Mine
does 1600bpi and 3200bpi; 800bpi needs an extra card which I don't have
(and the M4 guys told me that not all the head assemblies they used are
good for 800bpi/NRZ anyway). Mine has two connectors for a Pertec
interface, no SCSI, and connects to a QBus controller on one of my 11/73s.
