Dave,
My serial number is 2203A01125 so that would confirm
the 1982 date.
Does your documentation give any indication of which
jumpers need to be changed to reconfigure the drive ?
There are several on the controller board but nothing
explicitly marked Option 010 or anything.

It does appear to be the 4 x 1.15MB version.
There's an HP warranty
label on the back that dates it to 1982.
Well, you still might be in luck if you want to use
this with your 64000.
The configurable controller appeared after serial
number 2151A04165

Awww...nuts.
I opened up my 9134A Opt 010 S/N 2203A02408 to get the strap info, and it
has the old 09135-69501 "unstrappable" controller card inside. So I went
back to the service doc, and I had misread the table of starting serial
numbers. The 2151A04165 number I quoted was for the 9135A. The proper
number for the 9134A is 2203A03086. And, for completeness, the starting
number for the 9133A is 2239A01446. Before those, the controller is
specific to the one-volume or four-volume configuration. After those, a
single strappable controller is used.
So I'm afraid that your drive is permanently set for the four-volume
configuration and so won't be usable on a 64000. Sorry.
