When I left the RK07s behind in 1993, I also left an RA60 behind, too.
 It had too poor of a weight-to-MB ratio to rescue, so it stayed.  I
only ever had one pack for it, so it was essentially a fixed-pack
drive in practice.

Another victim was a VAX 8530.  :-(   I had no way to power it in a
home environment.

That's far, far from me, and all I have is an RA60 pack in dubious
shape (stored in a basement for 15 years).
