Whilst digging out some 380Z manuals I found a "Prime 2455" I'd forgotten I
had....
I'd like to have a bash at getting this going, but aside from needing OS
tapes (anyone help PLEASE?) the tape drive and hard drive have been removed
along with some sort of drive mounting tray.
Can anyone tell me what types/capacities of hard drive I can fit to this
machine, and what model of tape drive does it take (all I know is that the
tape and hard drives are SCSI devices)?
Also, I *NEED* the mounting tray/stage which fits inside the top of the
machine to which the drives attach. Anyone in the UK in a position to help?

I used a Prime P750 way back at Westfield College, London
in the early 1980s. If you need any help with using
PRIMOS, let me know. Anybody else on the list use Software
Tools, from Georgia Tech, on a Prime?

Hi John,

....If you need any help with using PRIMOS, let me know....
Thanks, but I need to locate a copy of it first.... :-)
One of my friends used to use a Prime at Polytechnic, but he threw all his
notes away years ago....

I have an external tape drive which I am told came from a Prime of some
sort which you can have. I don't know what sort of tape it takes as I
didn't get any with it. Perhaps someone else on the list could say
whether it is any use to you. It has no external markings except for a
sticker showing that it passed statutory testing in 1988. The drive
itself is an Exabyte Model EXB 8200, does anyone recognise this?

It's an 8mm 112M Exabyte... www.exabyte.com. Works great with any
SCSI single ended (usually) interface.
