Hi TOny
You are correct. The way it read to me was that it was a
WD1000 type controller, not that it was actually a SA1000
disk because he specified a specific disk type.
Maybe the OP can be more specific.

There is a hardware reference manual here:
http://bitsavers.org/pdf/zilog/s8000/03-3237-04_hwRef_Dec82.pdf
- On page 32 you'll see the specifications of the shipped 33MB Winchester
drive
- On page 47 you'll see the signals of the WDC controller listed which
are attached to the so called "FINCH adapter board".
- On the pages 65-67 you'll see how this harddisk has to be attached to
the FINCH adapter board and how this is to be connected to the WDC
controller.
- On the pages 109-119 you'll find the theory of operation..
From the figure on page 65 I assume, that it is a SA100
interface.
