 1. A large StorageTek 2920 9-track 1/2" tape drive. ND110324
 2. An empty cage with a docking bay for some device.
 3. 5 CDC Sabre SCSI disks of 736 Mbyte each
Included parts :

Plans

I have a Linux-computer with a 5V differential SCSI card so I will try to use that one to test and image the disks. The tape drive, if working, will be used to image a number of tapes I have in my collection.
