I'll check during easter holidays, but from what I remember it was just
CPU, IOP + 5-7MB memory. I'm also planning on doing an install if I
get it working with 5.1 + WIN/TCP (finally found the tape!).
I've gotta do it fast before my last 9144-type drive stops working.
I *really* have to figure out a way to fix those rollers, I have a
9144+9145+9142 completely broken and a 7974 that's about to lose the
capstan. I still have working 35401 and a 7946.
There's a thread about a 7974 9-track and gooey capstans at
http://raven.utc.edu/cgi-bin/WA.EXE?S2=hp3000-l&q=7974+capstan
One proposed fix was "Red Devil" vacuum cleaner belts.
