It's SMD...
I belieeeeve that FSD's are just small SMD's. They seemed
to have the same cabling as I recall.
Yup...
I couldn't find info on the PA5G1M anywhere so I
found another
number on the unit, "97150-340 FSD-340" and that seeked
to a Seagate (guess they bought out CDC SMD's), here:

Here it says this FSD is a SMD. Perhaps your drive is there...
first get the other model number.
Seagate purchased the CDC disk drive unit (Magnetic Peripherals Inc,)
back around 5-8 years ago I think... (the are same folks who did -- I
think -- all the MPI floppies as well as the 9766, Wren etc. I'm
installing two Wren 9gb SCSI's right now.)
And we wonder why we subscribe to this list.
Nostalgia.
