That's per-drive. Massbus allows for 8 drives per controller.
While, MSCP is interesting in that it's somewhat drive independent, it's
complex and it only really works with newer OS's.

However, once we get a prototype doing something interesting, we were
talking about looking around for people interested in helping out.
We'll do a couple disk controllers but if someone wants to add others,
great. Especially if someone wants to add MSCP. We're happy to skip
that one ourselves.
I can imagine. MSCP is a large effort.
For a classic/straightforward programming interface, the Massbus disks (RP04 and
successors) are a good choice. That will take you just over 500 MB, if you emulate the
layout of the RP07.
