If my memory serves me well, The only controler made for these besties was
a DIVA Computroller V. It was a Unibus controller. The emulation was of
a RM02 (20Mbyte). The company went belly up about 10 years ago. The disk
was still being made for some Texas Instrument machine back then also.

Most of your "standard" third party controller manufactures should cover
this one. I know that it's useable on all the Emulex SMD and Massbuss
type controllers we have. The CDC 9762 is basicly the Grand Daddy of the
SMD family of disks.

DEC makes (or puts their own lable on) this drive and it's controller. Your
best buy would be through the DEC used Equipment Dealers (of which there
are quite a large number).

I hope that the above list helps.
