Jerome Fine replies:

While I would appreciate the tape drive in order to read some
DEC RT-11 distributions which are now only on 9-track tape,
I understand the drive is VERY heavy.

Also, although the 11/84 is a monster overall, it would be worthwhile
if it were going to the dumpster to at least save the CPU board
which can also be used in a Qbus, but not the memory.

Incidentally, I am in Toronto. Postage code is M2R 3G3.

Please advise.

Sincerely yours,
