I'm looking for information (cabling, jumper

Is that drive really *that* rare?
It was near the end of Pertec's life making disk drives. I remember having a manual,
but it would be with a box of other SMD drive
manuals I haven't seen in over 15 years. There are a bunch of other mid 80's drive
manuals that are hard to find, that was why I
started trying to save them when I saw them. Looking back, I should have grabbed more of
the Priam and DTC docs as they were dumped
into the surplus channels back in the day as well.
Jim Stevens may know of a stash of that kind of stuff in LA. There were still a couple of
places up around where Pertec and Kennedy
were that were still maintaining drives as of five years ago. I visited one of them to get
the front loading Kennedy triple density
96xx series service manuals back then, and they had two Gaylords full of old disk and tape
manuals.
