Aha! Thanks, Al, this clears up a real mystery.
I was going purely on what my friend told me. He thought the AED 2200
was a 10MB winchester, and I haven't dug into it any further (haven't
de-racked it or even researched it yet), so I just went with his
assumption.
Further, I was unhappy to find that the Diablo Series 30 did not have an
RK11-D controller. I assumed it had gotten scrapped and that the Diablo
30 would be useless.
Now it comes together - the AED2200 _is_ the controller for the Diablo,
and there is _no_ 10MB winchester.
Thanks for that. I'll update the page now that it all makes sense.
