Speaking of which did any of the emulex sc univus adapters support 18 bit mode?

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.
