I'd be interested in the unibus SMD controllers as I'm in the middle of
working on an SMD emulator and it would be "nice" to be able to use one
on my 11/40 (my 11/70 already has an SMD controller in the RH70 slots).

Hi Christian,
As others have indicated, the drive has an SMD interface.
FWIW, I have a drive which was working when I acquired it a number of
years ago, along with a bunch of disk packs and I have some emulex
unibus disc controllers (SC31, SC72). If you are interested in these
items, I am looking to reduce my collection (I have loads of pdp11
hardware). Where are you located? I am in NW Indiana...

Hello all,
we now have a RM03 drive, but are missing all the cables and the RH11
backplane, though I have the cards.
Since the drive itself is a CDC 9762 I was wondering if I could
ignore the Massbus adapter in the drive cabinet and use the CDC as a
"normal" SMD drive (at least it uses the standard 60+26 pin cables).
There are no service manuals/schematics of the drive itself, so I
can't look there. And all I could find on the net were discussions of
using the Massbus adapter for normal SMD drives but in my case, I
don't want Massbus at all.
