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.
