Guys:
I just picked up a CDC 9720-500 Sabre 8" drive (SCSI version).
Anybody got docs for this thing? Especially the power hook
up, and dip switch settings.
<snip>
I have a non-functional SMD version with a fully functional power supply.
I would be willing to sell or trade the chassis/power supply combo. Your
drive would fit nicely in it, and the power unit is designed to run Sabre
drives. Make me an offer (I do my darndest not to gouge).
Are you looking for SMD versions? I may be able to latch onto a couple.
A scrap dealer near where I work just tossed three of
these that
were SMD! Arrrrgh!
<sigh> I know. I watched a Kennedy 9400 tape drive go to an almost certain
death at the scrapyard because I lack the channels to intercept it before
it goes. At least I managed to save a TK70 and its controller.
We all rescue what we can, Jeff, sometimes at considerable personal risk.
I know it hurts, but there's just no way we'd ever be able to 'Save it
All.'
