I have a Kennedy 9400 drive here (Gloucester, MA) for the taking. This
is a tri-density upright unit with formatted Pertec interface. It worked
the last time I used it, but, as I look at it now, it appears that the
backup
battery on the CPU board has failed. It would likely be necessary to run
through the calibration procedure after replacing the battery. (I recall
doing the calibration before, so it must be in the manual. These drives
have an RS232 port to control the diagnostics.) I also have an extra
drive
(with mechanical problems) for spare parts; they should probably go
together.
