The service manual is still available from HP, and well worth the money.

The 7980 and 88780 are basically the same drive, and the manual covers
both. The 88780 is the OEM version, and is available with SCSI (single-ended
or differential) or Pertec interfaces, while the 7980 has an HP-IB interface.
