Jeff,
I'd like to have the whole thing! or things :-) I'm also interested in
the other drives. What would you wnat for them? You don't have to hook them
to a system to test them, just power them up and be sure the FAULT light
goes out. They may not be formatted for your 9816. I'd rather you didn't
format them since there may be something usefull on them. Any idea what
kind of system they were used on?
BTW are you the guy that I sold the Nimetz keyboard to? Do you have any
floppy disks with BASIC or the other languages? I have them on hard disk
but I'd like to get a floppy copy and the file on the disk is too big to
copy to a floppy.
Joe
PS On *some* of the HP drives you can park the heads by disconnecting the
drive from a system then powering it up. They'll park automaticly after
selftesting. I don't know if this works on all drives but it doesn't hurt
to do it.

Hey Joe!
I went down to the junkyard near where I worked, and
managed to turn not one, not two, but *three*
HP 9133XV's! There were also "V"'s a "D", and an
"H".
I grabbed one of the XV's, and plan to test it with my
9816. If the platters are in good condix, would you be
interested? I could even just pull the HDD unit (14.8Mb :)
and send *that* if you like!
Jeff
