Not yet, but there is hope. It definitely existed at one point though.

Ever seen a 14" Hard Disk pak? Well I've got 22 sitting here that need to go into a drive system the size a dishwasher. It is hoped that among those monster disks which were main data drives running on a CDC-9766 connected up to Atari's Vax 11/780's and DG MV8000 mainframes, that the code for Liberator is there.

The system is staged out in the garage at long last and now I just need to hire a company to bring it up into the new office (weighs 550lbs) then I need a 40amp 220V line for it (can't wait to see the lights in the neighborhood dim when I fire that beastie up! ;-)

Now that brings back memories... one of my first 'real' jobs, getting stuff off an old ICL machine onto a Dec MicroVax. The ICL had CDC hard disks. the power was hardwired with armored cable =P
