All,
Thanks for the info. Once I opened the drive up I saw that there was a
pack still in there. At first I was excited to get a free pack but then I
quickly realized that the heads weren't locked. In fact, they were deployed
about an inch into the surface. I retracted them manually. I can't see
apparent damage to the pack or heads but the drive isn't in a good place
for analysis. Oh well...

All the unit has is a thin rail on both sides
that is riveted to the
unit. It looks like chassis slides were there originally. Does anyone
have either the DEC part # for the slides
I sent these to the list a while back, and never added them to the CHWiki
once
we gained access to it; I have now added them there:
http://gunkies.org/wiki/RL0x_disk_drive#Installation
Note that i) they are handed, so one needs an L and a R (I have extra
lefts,
and would like to trade some for rights), and ii) the same slides are used
on
other DEC drives, e.g. the RA81.
