The plan is (because real massbus connectors are so
hard to find) to use
3 40 pin ribbon cables (aka the in-cabinet massbus cabling) to go
between the controller (RH11, RH70, RH750, RH780, etc) and what I'm
building. That still allows for using an external massbus cable
arrangement if one so desires.
Sounds exactly what I had envisioned. Must be the obvious thing to do.
I'm in the process of redesigning my website. As
part of that I'll put
up more details on "legacy disk emulator".
Excellent. Can't wait.
