CISC 9404 and 9402's that I have seen typically have crappy 150MB oem
Tandberg QIC tape drives. Supposedly they are very finicky with their
SCSI-I. I never bothered to do much with mine.
The disk drives (if not too small to be useful) can be reformatted to 512
byte sectors and used elsewhere. I am using an IBM 0661 now from an
AS/400 in a Netbsd DECstation 5000/260 as a second drive.
I had a CISC 9402 which had normal looking SIMMs in it, tho I never
bothered to figure out if they actually did fit in anything else.
I have not had my mits on a RISC model to date.
