Hi,
David Largent, at Largent_at_MBRNET.INTEREX.ORG, has some old HP disk
drives available (in Muncie, Indiana). The HP 7925 is a 120 MB
disk with an HP-IB interface (removable disk pack).
The HP 7933 is a 400 MB disk with an HP-IB interface (non-removable,
although extremely closely related to the HP 7935, which is removable).
The drives are about the size of a 2-drawer filing cabinet ... and
heavier.
If you're interested in them, contact him ... not me!
