Funny this should come up. I popped one open this weekend. The 7958
disks have MFM on the label, so I guess it's safe to assume that the 7963Bs are

We have a couple of 400Ts that have a SCSI and a HP-IB interface. NetBSD
can have both interfaces active at the same time. And I thought that I was

for my kernel source trees.
