Hmm. I'd like to come up with a DASD for my S/390 at some point, so I
might do something more interesting with it than heat my garage...

Anyways, I don't think you'd want to try to haul any IBM DASD inside an
SUV, unless you wanted to get new shocks. A trailer, however, would
probably work if rated for enough weight.

The number that IBM gives as the minimum weight for an S/390 cabinet of
the type I have (9672) is 1300LBS for a single 6ft high 24" rack, which
explains the difficulty I had moving it across the carpeting in my last
apartment. :)
