Hello Alan,

I am not at home right now, but when I will be back next week, I will see if I 
have the manual for that exerciser. If so, then I will scan it to upload it on 
bitsavers.
Best regards, 
Pierre

Yes, I still have some SMD drives in working condition -- at
least they were before I moved.  One is a Century Data Systems
T-302, and another is a Fujitsu Eagle.  The T-302 is wonderful
for impressing younger people who aren't familiar with older
technology like 12-platter removable disk packs.  :-)
220 volt, 30 amps starting, 6 amps running, all for a whole
256 megabytes (formatted).

Thanks,

Alan

Thank you very much!  I've already downloaded it.  I really appreciate
all the work you do to keep this information available.

No, I do not.  The only Century Data manuals I have are for the T-302,
which I believe you already have.
