Looked up the archived microfiche of the LA Times for September 10, 1989.

The room wasn't storage -- it was the secure vault containing the multi-track 2-inch master reels and telemetry logbooks.
Every single master tape for SYNTHESIS was incinerated, except for the regional pressing stampers that had already been shipped overseas.

Who disabled the halon system at 2:00 in the morning?

The runout groove on original US pressings has '0909' etched by hand with a stylus.

Nodes 11 through 14 lost their logbooks in that fire. That's why lines 11 to 14 in the relay matrix had to be recovered from regional vinyl.

Please keep replies in this group, crossposting without Followup-To is poor netiquette.
