CDC 9730 Hard Drive

[Hjalmar]

Does anyone have data or a service/operation manual for a CDC 9730 Hard drive? I'm seeing almost nothing on google for this drive.

This thing weighs 125lbs.

Thanks

No thank you for that. One thing I don't know is if the ready light will come on with the drive not hooked up to the controller or not. I'm trying to be careful and test things separately. It would be nice to know test points for the power supply as well.

If there is anything technical I'm aware of that exists for the 973x family it will be in the CDC section of Bitsavers.

Unless someone has customized your drive for something exotic I suspect it's still a normal SMD type interface.

Looks to be exactly what I was looking for, thanks.
