Don't know the date of the unit shown, but in the early-mid 1970s, we
used acres of 844-21(IIRC ~100MB) and 844-41 drives (IIRC ~200MB).
Don't know what the OEM model would have been.

Would this have been connected to a CDC Cyber back in the day? I noticed

Well, crap.
I got rid of my 2 9766’s and all the packs that I had for them a couple of
years ago for nothing what this guy is asking for his. ;-)
I probably still have a pile of heads for them (but they’d probably go to the
guy who purchased the drives/packs from me).
What are folks using
Interesting, I've just picked up two 9766s and two OEMed CDC pack drives
(unsure of model # yet). I might be bugging you about spares :P
Thanks,
Jonathan

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:

Haven't seen one listed in years. The price lets me assume that this offer
