Cool... disks are always handy.

Hmm... think it's possible to get two working 11/40s out of the pile, or
does it look like one working 11/40 and a donor? It should be possible to
cast some replica switch toggles, but it may or may not be worth it.

Wow! I don't have a Fabritek memory box, but I do have an unexpanded
-8/i. I'd seriously consider making a 1U memory enclosure with some
battery-backed SRAM. Is there any chance you'd part with the cable?
