Really great (7 track) drives; substantially over-engineered as compared
to, say, a 65x drive. The 604 wasn't quite as fast as the look=alike
607, but nothing to sneeze at. If you've got 160A, 3000-series or
6000-series machine (and associated controller), it'd be a really great
drive to have.

I still think full-size vacuum-column drives are the coolest things, but I expect these
ones are nowhere near me.
Breaking them into pieces would be heresy - I suspect they'll find a destination given
the value of old-mainframe-anything these days.

If you are unsuccessful in placing them, and want to part the things
out, please save me a head. I'll gladly pay for it.
