Old Disk Drives - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

...
  Somewhere in my storage unit I have service data for
one of those,  is anybody 
...
  interested in that enough to make it worth my while to
dig it out?  No 
 promises as to when,  but... 
Of course! Start diggin'...

If it is for an IBM 2311 or 3330, dig fast.

Do you have a unit to repair or just want an old manual as a collectible?  I
know that I
still my IBM 1311 manuals because they had all my training notes in it.  CDC
used 1311's until they
reverse engineered it and built their 852.  (The 852 could plug in as a 1311
replacement.  
The 853 used CDC's own interface.  The 854 was a double density version, an
incredible 
10 MB stack of disks - sarcasm intended.  (The removeable disk stack was
numbered 851.)

Not certain if the 2311 manual survive the last move.  If it did, it goes to
Al when I find it.
