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. > >Control Data 9762 > 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 RK07 > DEC makes (or puts their own lable on) this drive and it's controller.
