If I'm not mistaken, that CDC drive uses the same mechanism as my DEC TU81. My 
workshop is the exact same style of steel arch building as your hangar, but 
mine is a lot more full of junk than your hangar is! :D

I see you posted an additional rack picture today, a closeup of the label.
It looks like it says H9CAB-BA, but I can't find anything online about that
(AA and AB, yes). What do you know about it?

I'm sure relieved that you didn't say "DEC TU77 drive" and "near Riverside, 
CA", because I lack spare cash, empty floor space, and impulse control! :)

Too far? Road trip? I'm crying here (Sydney Australia.)
I have a couple of HP 7970B's (and the sevice manual) though not yet running.
But I have no 1600 bpi drives. Oh well...
