Its about half the weight of many minicomputer bits (I think an RK05 drive
is about 50kg for example).
I cry DEC-bias, using an RK05 as your UOM ;)
For HP, a bare 7906 drive is 75kg (165#), and with controller, power supply,

Give us (New Horizons team) a couple years on that.
I’ll guess that even the IAU is going to realize the error of their ways by the

Hmm.. 55 pints?
In the UK, the pint (as used, I assume for beer) is 568ml. So assuming
that 'pint' means the drink commonly called that over here and assuming
beer has a density similar to water [1] then 44 pints is very close.

Sure, I've got it as 473ml or so.
But the OP was from the UK, so presumbly uses imperial pints.

Or a resistor network, diode network, transistor array, programmed PROM,
microcontroller,
etc, etc, etc.

number 1260-033
Those are "imperial pints", in the US a pint is 16 fluid onces so nearer to

Anyone interested in repairing some monitors in exchange for DEC gear or
possible cash? sorry, US only because of shipping.
Please contact me off list if you are interested.
Thanks, Paul
Oh that is awesome.
