Would this have been connected to a CDC Cyber back in the day? I noticed
that this is in Athens, GA, home of University of Georgia. The first
programs that I ever wrote were on a CDC Cyber there (via a 300-baud
acoustic coupler modem at Valdosta State College).

There is a Make Offer option, and it does look like the seller does
take offers fairly regularly. I will not be buying it.
If someone does, I have a huge amount of spares for 976x drives,
including refurbished heads. It might take a while to find them in my
mess, however.

Hi list,
Just came across this:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Computing-CDC-Magnetic-Peripherals-Control-Data-9766-Storage-Module/143351908424?hash=item2160708848:g:3yEAAOSw1oJdTo9u
Haven't seen one listed in years. The price lets me assume that this offer
addresses customers that may use these drives in a production environment or
so...
I am not aware of museums or hobbyists who have such drives currently in a
functional state to read and write from and to 80MB (CDC 9762) or 300MB (CDC
9766) disk packs. Maybe the CHM? ... not taking into consideration the CHM
activities related to the Xerox disk cartidge (2315-equivalent) software
archive project.
Anybody out there? Would be interesting to know.
Best regards,
Pierre
