Greetings,
There are four CDC 9766 disk-pack drives in need of rescue in the BWI
Airport area in Maryland... I'm not sure how long they'll be
available... hours or days, but if anyone's interested I think they
can be had for whatever the scrap buyer's going to pay, which probably
isn't very much. As more details become available, I'll post them.
Until recently, these drives were working and in service, as far as I
know.
While I'd love to collect these drives, I don't have room for them at
this time; for those who aren't familiar with them, they're rather
large and heavy; bigger than the DEC disk pack drives I've seen.
You'll need a large, U-haul type truck to move them. There's no
loading platform, so getting them up the ramp without a lift or winch
won't be easy (not something I'd want to attempt).
If no one can save them, I'll see what I can extract and save from
their insides.
