Re: HP 7970B/E Tape Unit manual available

That would be great, as some of the pages in the current manuals or bits of the 
schematics are missing. And for some reason it is always the page I need that's 
missing!

It's in the configuration matrix in the service manual.
The 7/9 configuration is read-only.

If nothing else, I should pull it out, clean it up, and shoot pictures of
everything inside.

When Crisis was shutting down, I also bought every 7/9 head stack they had.

dual  headed  one... yea... well worth putting online.  do  you have  a link 
to any sales info on this?   I used to hear of  these but never  laid eyes

I'll gladly take them if they are still available. Let me know how much the 
shipping is to California.

for people that care, I'll be rescanning that series of HP manuals using my 
long page
scanner at 600dpi. They are sitting on the pile next to the scanner right now.

I'm trying to decide if I want to attempt getting my 7970 with a dual 7/9 track 
head
running this year.
