Hmm, that's a CDC / Laser Magnetic Storage 92185

for a 92185 with
the SCSI interface (or just the SCSI interface board to plug into a generic 92185).
Correct. That's an LMSI drive. Not much help in the way of markings other than
LMSI and
Keystone. It has the 2-cable Pertec interface.
(I have 2 working 92185s with the Pertec interface,
and I kludged-up a board that will read my
archival tapes, but it would be nice to have one that makes a more direct connection.)
I really wish I had a Pertec to SCSI bridge. It would have made these drives far more
useful over
the years.
