Yes. Because this drive is big, but small enough so that a single person
can carry it. (40 kg)

I still have to restore the 14" RK07 (together with a PDP-11/34A) that

Hmmm, reminds me of that old Symbolics 6000 Lisp machine. Card cage with
18 fans and a pre-Eagle 14" Fujitsu drive in the bottom. The drive
needed one hour to warm up bevore it was usable.
