CMD had a raid controller that hooked to the Vax 8xxx's that I saw, but
I have no idea of part number, etc. I was a technical author on an
article about it for CMD for a PR article in some DEC rags.
I was picked because the word went out they needed a "Unix" expert to
help with the article. This is from the hardware group there, plus
their marketing. When I got there I was invited to log in, and found it
quite puzzling that they had a VMS system for me...
Anyway, they did take the interface that was connected via two coax
cables (75 ohm as I recall) to a controller, and SCSI out the other
side. And it was quite fast, and a lot less hardware than the DEC
equivalent.
