Both the jukebox and the 3488 were available on the RCA 301. Due to trademark issues RCA had to drop the RACE name, although I believe that they were able to refer to it a R.A.C.E. through the Spectra 70.
DRF? Don't ask, don't tell. You're better off using the Data Disk File. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

I'm looking for information, pictures, descriptions of old magnetic storage devices, especially not disks and tapes. Examples: NCR CRAM, Electrodata or Potter RAM. I also found some magic devices from RCA, used by some Bull Gamma 30 machine also. There are two devices: 1. RCA MCF (Magnetic Card File) or RACE (Random Access Card Equipment), possibly 70/568-11 2. Jukebox similar to music jukebox, 128 discs, possible name is Data Record File, device type 361, part of RCA 301. (note, it is possible I mismatched names of different products) Of course I used google, found some manuals on bitsavers, but those devices are still very cryptic for me. Maybe someone knows where some pictures of those devices can be found?
