These are used for programing SABER and other old ass radios.

They have some issues with bad caps. The internal batteries are way dead by now.

The HD in it will not read under modern Linux with a USB to PATA adapter. I was able to back it up via netcat and dd using tomsrtbt disk. Note that making this disk will not work with a USB floppy as it's actually writing like 1.72 mb to a 1.44 mb floppy. As I only had the one drive in the PC, I was able to boot it into dos and then make a multi-part pkzip archive of it and then write it from dos on the hard disk.

Oh the floppy rubber pulley was fubar and I had to replace the belt. These are belts that I ordered from Amazon and had one that fit. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HZD5JL4/
