   Ahh the 3480s.  I don't know much about those.

   Yes those I remember...The only machine I used at work that had a 
9-track drive was the 11/750; it had a TU80 and a TU78.  That TU78 was 
a *nice* drive...faster than all shit.  It pulls something like 70A at 
220V though, so I won't be running one of those at home. :-(
