All he had was a pack from the front end (Eclipse ?) of a Cray.
I don't think he even knows what disk controller it was connected to
although I would think that Cray would have used one from DG.
But that's a standard SMD drive, isn't it? So it should be rather simple
to make a minimalistic SMD interface for his analyzer system (his PC) just
to control the positioning system and to read the sector data.
I could use such an interface because I have three Fujitsu drives from a
Nixdorf system that I want to read out. The controller format is unknown
(as everything from a Nixdorf...), and I haven't had luck with my SUN VME
controllers (I've programmed them directly). But time... a very rare good
today.
