I was given a Sun 3/260 that had been sitting in an open barn for a decade. It

re the black wires are soldered in. "N12" is at where the white
(-12V) wire is soldered in.

set of 0.7m D-sub 25- and 37-pin (male both ends) command
Hi,
Does anyone here have a CDC 9270 (SMD HDD) status/control panel that I
could borrow to check whether the drive that I have thinks that it is OK?

Two things:
1. Does anyone here have documentation for Fujitsu's M2372 SMD disk?
M2382 is on bitsavers, but there are some differences between it and the
M2372.
2. I removed the drive from the Sun Storage Pedestal chassis, so I could
see what status LEDs are turning on when I power it up.

I ordered from a set from MemoryX at the beginning of Jan. They haven’t arrived
and MemoryX isn’t answering my e-mail asking what’s up.

Save them for the next project?
My garage is full of stuff saved for the next project. At some point one

years ago.
I paid $8
