Hi Pierre,
Yes, when LCM was open the Sigma-9 and the connected drives were up and
operational, I can't remember what OS the system was running. Maybe CP-V or
UTS?

Hi all,
I just came across pictures on the LCM website about their SDS Sigma
installation there.
On the pictures, one can see 10-platter disk packs in the corner and
stored on the disk drives.
Did the LCM ever had these in operation, either for data retrieval or even
demo purposes?
I know of the Jim Austin Computer museum where they fixed a CDC 9766 drive
but it suffered
a head crash after a few hours according to their description which led to
giving up the operation
of these drives.
Greetings,
Pierre
