For nostalgic reasons, I have wanted to acquire two
particular disk drives
for a PDP-11 of mine... I don't remember what they are called or what brand.
But - there are two of them in the very far right of the symbolics rescue
picture at the top of the rack with light brown trim line across the front.
Can anyone tell me what those are - and if there are any around to be
obtained? How hard are they to work on? Is the positioner based on patterns
on the drive or a glass reticule?

I'm sure this has been answered already, but those are Diablo 31 drives.
I've got one that came with my Nicolet 1080 machine. I also have an RK05f
which is the DEC OEM version.
On another (old) topic, are you still interested in that HP 7970E tape
drive?
