        The Maxtor 330MB hard drive used by NeXT systems has auto-park
     heads.  The same goes for the 660MB.  When transporting any laser
     printer, remove the toner cartridge and place it in a the foil
     bag it came with.  Try to keep the cartridge standing in a vertical
     orientation to keep the toner from coming out.  I would also
     recommend placing the original "shipping teeth" in the fuser
     assembly.  This prevents the fuser heater bulb from breaking.
