Hi.
Free for local pickup in Kaiserslautern Germany:
Fujitsu M2442 9 track tape drive, Pertec interface, 1600 and 6250 bpi.
Excellent condition, 19" rack rails included.
Do not even think of shipping. Too big, way too heavy.

Got one of these too. They were used on Suns mostly, I think. Sun
even resold them under their brand for a while.

Oh, p'shaw. Don't let Sridhar hear you say that :-).

shipped around if you're willing to spend the bucks :-).

Oh yes, you're right. I didn't notice 2442 vs 2444 until you pointed
it out!

I don't know; I've never seen an M2442. I am very curious about
it, though, as I'm a big fan of Fuji stuff from that era. It's some
of the best-built hardware I've ever seen.

Yes. It came from a Sun 3 or Sun 4 together with three Fujitsu Eagles.
Fortunately there is someone who will take the Eagles. I also saw a
configuration like this on a MicroVAX 3800.

Sure, shipping is
possible in theory. But most likely it will require
somthing like mounting the thing on a pallet and - more important -
someone who wants to pay all the money that that shipping takes. I don't
expect to find a person who is willing to spend all that money.
