I suppose I could've shared this on the for sale/trade board, but I thought it was unusual enough to deserve a place here in the hardware section.

I've heard of SGI-branded Kennedy drives, but I've never actually seen one until this Craigslist ad (see attached) - http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/sys/5332950111.html

Huh!

:shock:

I had an 8-track tape player in my '71 Challenger, I don't remember what brand it was but I'm pretty sure it wasn't SGI....

Mmmm, a quad-density front loader. Glad it's not closer, so I'm safe from temptation.

Then?

Insert a series of Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor grunts here.

"Isn't that the tape drive they call "The Widowmaker" Tim?" :twisted:
