The RM05 is a repackaged CDC 9766. We have a 9766 at LSSM, but it
has not yet been restored. It will probably be a while before we get to
it. We have in-house expertise, but we are short-handed and have a lot
of things ahead of it in the queue. But we do have an inventory of
spare parts for it, service documentation, and packs for testing.
This does not address your requirement right now, but I doubt you`ll
find a compatible drive anywhere else.
If a qualified engineer wants to visit LSSM and take on the project
of getting the 9766 running, contact me via email.
