That sounds right - 2415. They were the cheaper ones.

Eric,
I think you mean the 2415. Two drives above, built in controller below.
sounded kinda like Godzilla when first one then the other vacuum column
loaded.

Gerhard,
You could actually power down the tape drives? Someone else mentioned
they didn't think that was possible.
Ah, the good old days. My first job in IT was a computer operator on a
360/40. We had 2 of the old tape drives that had the columns go
sideways. I can't remember the model number. We did a lot of disk to
disk backups on the 2914 (I think) so we didn't need a lot of tapes.
