Yesterday, thanks to Tim Shoppa, I collected some
8" SMD drives: a
couple of Fujitsu M2333 (337MB) and M2382 (1GB each!) drives and an
Emulex SC03 controller. Its my understanding that I might not be able
to use these large drives with an SCO2 or SC03 controller, so, I'm
wondering what I need in order to use them with a PDP-11/73.
Bob -
From your description of your current SMD drive
controller, it's probably
an Emulex QD32 or QD33, in which case it ought to
handle the newer M2333
and M2382 just fine. I think your first priority should be to figure
out what you've currently got :-).
The SC03 will handle a Fuji Eagle (with a few slight adjustments to take
into account interleaving), but not anything with a faster data rate,
unfortunately.
Tim.
