Thanks for sending the SMTP transcript, that helps....

    Our Symbolics 3675 must be moved to another building from the spot where it 
    has happily resided for several years.  I can locate no advice on 
    preparations for movement in our standard documentation set (Volumes 0-10). 
    Such advice from SLUGgers would be appreciated.

It's not in the documentation because end users aren't supposed to do
it.  Officially, this is only supposed to be done by Symbolics field
engineers.

The only important thing is locking the heads on the disk drive.  If
it's an Eagle, open the back and look down on the drive.  To the right
of its controller board you should see a screw and the two labels LOCK
and UNLOCK.  Loosen the screw a little, slide it to the LOCK position,
and then tighten it.  Reverse this when the system is at its
destination.

CDC 368- and 515-meg drives are self-locking, so you don't have to do
anything.
