Hi everyone,
Update on the barn-find Sun 3/260 that I have been restoring and was

Given that the venue is closed and it is unknown whether it will reopen before
the show date, there is a good reason to reschedule at a minimum.

I had one, but sold it to someone on this list last year.
As previously discussed here, I have a Sun 3/260 that connects to a Sun
external storage subsystem containing two 8” SMD drives. The external cabling
is a 0.7m D-sub 25-pin (male both ends) data cable for each drive and a paired
set of 0.7m D-sub 25- and 37-pin (male both ends) command cables.
Hi,
Does anyone here have a CDC 9270 (SMD HDD) status/control panel that I
could borrow to check whether the drive that I have thinks that it is OK?

Two things:
1. Does anyone here have documentation for Fujitsu's M2372 SMD disk?
M2382 is on bitsavers, but there are some differences between it and the
M2372.
2. I removed the drive from the Sun Storage Pedestal chassis, so I could
see what status LEDs are turning on when I power it up.
