I'm sitting on a pair of half-wide rackmount
storage devices
silk-screened "RA 8" and "System Technology Associates" on front.
Standard buttons - Write-Protect, Fault, A, B, on the front panel and an
LED readout. 3 characters, I think. There's a Control Data Corp label
on top of the box, but the model label on the side is STA. Model RA8-1100.
Open PSU inside, and a logic board that converts the SDI I/O to talk
to 2 Maxtor XT-8760-E ESDI drives.
That sounds similar to a box I have at home, but with an SDI<->ESDI bridge.
Mine is full-width (19"), and has the mounting space for 2 sets of drives
and bridge card, but only one set is installed, (2 x 1.2GB).
So, has anybody ever seen one?
Not that exact one; sorry.
