Old CDC/Magnetic Peripheral Drive on DPS6

I have this weird drive on an old mini (Honeywell DPS6). These things
have an internal fixed disk, plus, you have to put in a disk pack in
them also. Well, on one of my drives, the belt that runs between the
drive spindle and the motor broke. Where can I find a replacement?

Manufacturer: Magnetic Peripheral
Equip ID# BJ7D3-A
Part # 77708003
Series Code 01

Another thing, I think the drive might be refurbished or something. On
the serial number on one of them, atleast (the working drive) it has a
hand-written "R" after the number.

Anybody who can help me, please do. In fact, if you can help me with
anything about the DPS6 or with GCOS6, I will be forever thankful. From
what I've heard, GCOS6 is sort of a GCOS/Unix hybrid. Should be
interesting.

Also, if by chance, you know of an old Unix variant that would run on
this baby, that could be nice too. I think having an old 7th edition
Unix system would be nice. However, I think having GCOS6 would be
really nice, too.
