Awww...nuts.

I opened up my 9134A Opt 010 S/N 2203A02408 to get the strap info, and it 
has the old 09135-69501 "unstrappable" controller card inside.  So I went 
back to the service doc, and I had misread the table of starting serial 
numbers.  The 2151A04165 number I quoted was for the 9135A.  The proper 
number for the 9134A is 2203A03086.  And, for completeness, the starting 
number for the 9133A is 2239A01446.  Before those, the controller is 
specific to the one-volume or four-volume configuration.  After those, a 
single strappable controller is used.

So I'm afraid that your drive is permanently set for the four-volume 
configuration and so won't be usable on a 64000.  Sorry.
