Ah, well then based on my experience with IBM winchester drives.. it's
actually a metal box containing a smaller thing that is the actual drive
itself.. its probably like 100 or so lbs. disk and 50 some pounds box... To
move my 5360 (System/36) inside, I pulled the two disk drives out (200MB,
14"), and each one only weighs about 70 lbs... However, that cuts 170lbs
from the weight of the 5360, which weighs about 600 or so lbs. Even with
large drives, don't forget that the HDA is often removable... this greatly
eases moving RA80's and the like.. Of course, for cartridge drives, you're
screwed. But I'm fairly certain the Series/1 uses a winchester, probably a
series 62 variety drive, which is an 8" critter.
