Hi everybody, the information technology "museum" at Erlangen University (for which I work part-time) will be aquiring two HP 1000 systems in the near future, an A600+ in a 16-slot cardcage with a "piano-seat" disk/tape unit (7912P) and an A700 in a big cabinet with rackmount storage (7908 and 7912). I'd really like to have them arrive undamaged. As noted in the archives, there should be a shipping lock on these drives (see http://www.classiccmp.org/pipermail/cctech/2003-April/013531.html). We've already received the documentation for the system, but obviously the now important parts (Disc Drive Installation Manuals 07908-90902 and 07912-90902) are missing. Some Google activation brought up several sellers of used drives along with a few classiccmp threads, but no online copy of the manual. Can somebody please tell me how to properly prepare the drives for transport? From what I read here, they're not very reliable anyway, but one doesn't need to make matters worse. They're in a building just across the yard, but as I always need to coordinate three parties to do something there, it would be best to know what to do *before* actually poking around in the cabinets. Your instructions (or redirections to web resources) will be sincerely appreciated. -- Arno Kletzander Stud.
