Be interesting to hear what happens to them if anyone finds out.
We've presumed they are the 60s-era tape drives, CD didn't reuse the 604 number
later for some model of disk drive did they?

The OP did forward out some pics and they are the 60's drives, but I believe the
location is California rather than Denver. Hope somebody saves them! -Cory

No. Generally, the old CDC stuff followed the scheme of 2xx =
terminals/displays 4xx = card equipment, 6xx = tape equipment, 8xx disks.
I left CDC somewhat after the time the 66x tapes came out.

One more category springs to mind--5xx would be printers (e.g. 501 and
512). Maybe I;m trying to forget about what it was like having a
machine gun on one side (501 drum printer) and a screaming banshee (512
train printer) on the other side.
8xx also includes drum storage.
I was never close to the Intercom/EI200 scene, so I talk to the RJE and
comms stuff. While I could stare at the IGS people fooling with their
big radar-screen displays, I'm not terribly familiar with the graphics
stuff either.
