Also I should note that I live in NYC, so if anyone around these parts has
a working Displaywriter I am willing to drive a bit and bring my portable
logic analyzer with me to capture traffic along the data connector.

Hey all,
I'm writing a blog post about this IBM 6360 disk controller I want to
build:
https://www.andersknelson.com/blog/?p=601
I've read through the service manuals and other docs on Bitsavers but I
can't seem to find a deeper explanation on the protocol that runs over the
DB-37 cable.
I suppose I could bypass the controller inside the drive cabinet and
directly control the drives but I bet it'll be easier/better to use as much
of the electronics as possible.
Can anyone help with the protocol?
Thanks!
