My understanding prior to buying these controllers was that they were
incompatible with the WD1000 and 1001 series, and were not SASI or SCSI
either, thought they purportedly had a similar handshake. Beyond that, I
need to find and subsequently read the documents.

Does
anyone have
any info on this oddball?
Sounds like a clone of the WD1000 or WD1001, which are nowhere close to
either SASI or SCSI.
