I'd completely glossed over eBay even though I'm pretty sure that listing showed up in my google searches. I guess I need to pay closer attention... The price is definitely right -- I'll get that scanned and sent off to Al. If anyone has any experience debugging these, do let me know. (I should also note that there is an R80 service manual on Bitsavers -- I misspoke (mistyped?) in my initial e-mail. It doesn't provide a lot of details on the drive's operation and I was hoping the RA80 or RM80 manuals might be more detailed...) Thanks again, - Josh
