TESTING:
This unit was used with one of our audio workstations, to "dump" data down to media for the purposes of external supply such as to CD/DVD replicators.
It has been well maintained and never gave us an issue.
Currently, my testing is now quite limited because the equipment used to talk to this drive has all been dismantled but basic re-testing (because it has been in our storage units) is:
Test Conditions: NO tape, NO scsci interfacing to a server was available
Powers up fine
Power up boot sequence - as shown on the LCD display
Photographs confirm some of the screen displays

It would have been nice to "talk" to the Mammoth 2 but presently that is not practical for my current setup (no SCSI of any kind running) however I am confident that this equipment will perform exactly as it always has, very well.
