Thanks for the info, I'm driving this puppy 850 miles though. Is the
clip permanently attached to the positioner?

There is a locking clip on the head positioner, but in my experience the

positioner is stiff enough not to need locking for short moves.

Do make sure there are no packs in them. To open the top cover, either
remove the little plate on the RHS (if it's an old drive) and frob the
solenoid (and replace the plate afterwards), or undo the access cover on

top and release the door that way. Take out any packs you find in the
drives, but keep them, as one may well be a bootable OS.
