I have some conflicting info here. On one hand the
literature says that
DEC rebadged the CDC9762 as RM02 and RM03s...
OTOH, the CDC has a SMD interface yet the RM02/03 has a MASSBUS interface.
Furthermore, the CDC is listed to be at 80MB, yet the RM02/03 apparently
has 67MB only.
So, which is true? I'm confused.
Thanks.

The RM02/03 have als a SMD interface, but it is slightly modified.
The RM03 has a separate controller in the drive cabinet, which is
the interface between the massbus and the modified SMD interface.
Apparently, 2 or 3 cards in the card cage are modified for/by Dec
to their needs.
The 80Mb may be unformatted capacity, while the 67Mb is the formatted
capacity, but I'm not entirely sure. My RM03 still has to be used with
my 11/70.....
