You?re going to need an RP03, or a spin table.
Does anyone know of any extant 3330 era spin tables with heads?
The last ones I saw were servo writers at Crisis Computer for HP packs,
which I'm sure are in the landfill by now.
Hopefully, the system in Canada that had an RP11 was saved.
Maybe someday LCM will attempt to recover all the PDP-10 RP04/5 packs CHM gave them.
I still have some small hope of recovering a stack of T80 and T300 packs from an
Alto file server, but the last time I worked on that project was in the late 80's.
At least magnetic tape doesn't spray aluminum shards/dust on a catastrophic media
failure.
