I've just put up two SCSI 9-track tape drives (front autoloaders) on Haggle under
'Drives.' The first one is a SCSI-SE M4 Data 9914 at:

The second is a SCSI-DIFF interface HP 88780 (Tandem 5190 badged) at:
http://www.haggle.com/cgi/getitem.cgi?id=202390090
The 9914 is known to be working, if a bit dinged cosmetically. The 88780 is unknown
condition at this time, but it was pulled out of a working system. I may be able to do a
basic power-on test for it in the near future.
FWIW, the M4 drive is still a current/supported product. The 88780 may or may not be.
I'm -really- reluctant to ship these because of size/weight. With either unit,
you'd be looking at shipping costs of around $170 ($100 for a custom box, another $70
or so for ground shipping and insurance).
So, unless you're not local to the area and are REALLY desperate for a SCSI
9-tracker, I'd prefer local pickup. Thanks much.
