Those were great!!! I used to service those beasties in 90' The
great "feature" of the 8" drives in the XT cases were the power

and you'd be working in a lab area and hear this loud ka-bang!!! like a
hammer hitting the case with all its might and what would happen is the
large coke-can sized capacitors used to explode! :-)
