Hi-ho,
I'm not sure of the model yet, at this stage all I know is that it's 6
cabinets with digital on some of them. That means it's not a minivax

We had quite a few customers using it on Altos 386 and IBM PS2/80

one could debate the safest approach - what does OSH suggest?
I think 35 passes with a custom tool is seriously painful.

Blowtorch costs money and time.. You can power the drive up, remove the

Hi,
