@alatariel You mean the #IBM3592 / #IBM #TS1170?

@glitzersachen @Yuki propblem is that AFAIK all #LTO drive mechanisms are made exclusively by #IBM and at a pretty premium.
And it has this nice booklet inside published by Bell Labs, with Max V Matthews as technical consultant
I have a large collection of #electronic and #computer #music #vinyl #records. I had a radio show on FM on the subject for about a decade. So it is always exciting to find something I don't have, especially early stuff. Found this 10" boxed "Music from Mathematics" from 1960, bell labs. Much more rare than 1962 Decca 12". Never seen it before. Found in a local shop, of all places, hiding inside a vinyl carry case.

Had coffee with a guy this morning, he mentioned os/2. Do you remember and know what that is?
@gpowerf @artfulrobot but isn't project's region of origin only concern if you want to financially support given project? Off top of my head I can't recall anything that would be US specific change in #fedora and #gnome desktop developement. I guess something something #redhat or #ibm but I feel like that is a streach, but if you are still concerned, just prepare some transfer plans into diffrent distros if stuff were to blow up.
