Yes, I think so. Also, there is a transport safety for the heads. It's a
lever on the HDA, which you should turn to unlocked.
Does the R80 have the terminal interface on one card like the RA8x drives
do? If so, plug a terminal in there and talk with the drive. 1200 bps I
think, though it could be 300. 8N1.
A little info can be found here:

thanks!
Did you tension the belt with the lever at the
right-hand side (at
least there it is in an RA81 drive)?
I did, and it seems to be right, but who knows. Is there any sort of
lock out or micro switch which senses proper belt tension? This is an R80 drive, btw. I'm assuming the RA80,
RB80 and RM80 are all
very similar at the drive end (not the controller end - which is very
different).
Yes, it's the same HDA.
