Over the weekend I ran accross (5) HP 13356A Disk Cartridges that look to be
in excellent condition. The 13356A's are typcially used in HP 3000 Series
II/III and are 7 platter/120MB. They are also marked 2613A.
I collect DEC, SGI, etc., but not HP, so I didn't pick them up. If you'd like
me to attempt to acquire them for you, please contact me off list.
I have no business relationship (other than as a customer) with the firm that
has the cartridges.

2613A? That would be a printer, probably one of the Data Products drum
printers.
Anyway, based on the "7 platter/120MB" note, these would be the packs
used in HP 7925 disc drives. Yes, that would be contemporary with HP
3000 Series II/III systems, but the drives held on a bit longer than
that (where I worked through most of the 1980s, we used one as the
system disc on a 3000/64 when that replaced a Series III, and carried
on using it that way for some years).
Were they usable with 2000 Access systems?
I don't need 'em. Too much crap, too little time.

I consider myself lucky to have a 2610. The stand weighs almost as much
as
the printer. Both together are heavier than a fully loaded 6 foot rack :)

I
know the 7920's worked with 2000 Access, I am not sure, but I believe the
7925's worked as well. I can check if anyone is interested.

I definitely want a 7925 drive. Once I find one, THEN I'd be interested in
the media :)

I expect that he'd like to have the cartridges,

You offered one that had been (and I quote) "pushed off the back of a truck
and landed upside down". Hence, my hesitancy. Those things weigh a ton, so
if I was going to pay shipping I'd prefer one that didn't have it's wings ;)
electronics, no big deal. Mechanics... possibly toasted. In retrospect, I
prolly should have taken it!
But honestly and seriously, the offer was much appreciated Joe :)
