This is a DEC branded removable media disk pack intended for use on a Digital Equipment RA60 disk drive. Please view all pics carefully. The spots on the cover are from over-spray of paint. They appear to come off w/some elbow grease. The inside is still clean and no HDI (head disk interiferance). However, if you anticipate placing this media into service, having it professionally cleaned and inspected is absolutely imperative. There is NO WARRANTY, ...expressed or implied.
Although the label indicates the content is a VAX / VMS Y4.3B distribution kit, because this media was NOT stored in a temperature controlled environment it's highly unlikely the original data survived, . Further, it's likely, "servo" information didn't survive either and would likely require re-writing if there's any chance this could be placed in service as active storage media. Again, this will require a professional service with the necessary equipment & skills. Again, DO NOT place this in a disk drive and attempt to use it right out of the box. "Not as described" is the only accepted reason for return and buyer pays return shipping.
Shipped with USPS Priority Mail. Buyer pays appropriate shipping costs.
