Filestore with doors closed.
Current status
The system seems to be fairly complete but are missing one device but I don't know exactly what. Probably missing a side panel or two. The tape drive seems to be working but I haven't tested it with a tape yet. One drive marked with "bad"
Filestore with SCSI devices : 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 : * Cabinet
Missing parts : * Unknown device, probably a tape drive.
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.
