I have a CDC9762, which is the smaller brother of
this drive and weighs considerably less, but is still
big and is still heavy. From the standpoint of showing
off the old technology standpoint, these are great
drives. Yes, you have to have the space and power, but
a winchester (fixed) drive just isn't as impressive
as a washing machine:-)

These drives use a standard SMD interface.
