Thanks. Your are right about the tape drives, they are the reel to reel variety
and it
come with two of them. I can't wait until it gets here and to see the neighbors
faces
as I try to get the thing upstairs at my little townhouse.

If anybody ever has to move stuff like this from the Carolinas I found an
excellent
company that will pickup, crate, shrink wrap and ship for a pretty good price.

Anybody else out there with and 8/i?
