>Still working with the IRIS- the power supply seems to be working now (replaced 4 paper capacitors with polyester film), low ripple so I think I'm going to risk firing up the computer. On to the Cipher tape drive with a damaged drive roller (the goo problem).=0D=0A     I'd like to get the original drive working eventually, but for now I want to make sure I can back up the disks (if the stickers are to be believed, it has GL2-W 2.2 on one). The tape controller is the standard Multibus Data Systems Design integrated ST-506/floppy/QIC-02 controller, and I don't have much experience with QIC-02. I have Wangtek 1/2 ht QIC-24 and QIC- 150 drives, and the manual for the -24.. Is it likely that one or the other will work with the DSD controller? What jumpers would I need to look at? Is there a better way to backup this machine (don't have any other ST-506 interfaces). I want to be able to do a backup first thing.=0D=0A=0D=0A 

Why not srape off the goo and slide (force) some thick wall vinyl tubing
over the new clean hub?  I've done this with TU58s and PC QIC drives.
FYI: the real trick is after you get it on the hub it needs to be trimmed 
to the right width.
