This is my PDP-11's 9 track tape transport. I have a stack of tapes that need to be read in.

It's a CDC model, and that front door hinges open to the left. It interfaces to the PDP-11 with an Emulex TC05, though I also have Dilog DQ132 (both QBUS) I could probably use.

it annoyed me greatly that a large number of AMD fanboys were all "oooh AMD>Intel" over spectre/meltdown etc. and AMD played into it, knowing full well that it was purely a marketing ploy, not an actual architectural immunity on their part.
