Unknown Honeywell tape drive - Help!

That looks to predate anything I saw at the site with the DPS-8's, and we had some pretty old equipment. What I think is interesting is the size, it's a decidedly small tape drive, on the DPS-8 we only had what I would call "full size" drives (think old Sci-Fi shows), on the first set of DPS-6's I dealt with, we had full size drives, as well, and on the last set, we simply had ones that were about 5U or 6U. I've *never* seen a 9-Track drive that size. It looks like it was intended to be used while sitting down. Zane -- -- | Zane H.
