Guy,

No rush, I have been sent a photo off list. I just got the emulator working in my model 2x rack mount controller and that’s actually what I want to move.

Yes, I have a -6x with an HDD.  Actually it’s an emulator.  I have 2 different HDDs (that were supposedly working but I could never get it to boot from it after installation.  However, with the emulator all is good.  ;-)

 

I’d have to open up my 3174-6x and pull the cables out in order to photograph it…given my current workload, I wouldn’t expect it to be soon.  :-(

Folks,

 

Does anyone have one of the larger 3174 shelf models, so a 5X or 6X with a with a hard drive? I have two but I am a bit worried about how long my rare 2.4 Mb diskettes will last. 

I have a model 2x with a hard drive, but the cables are different and was wondering if any one had photos of cabling for hard drive in a model 5x or 6x…
