Is a microcode

I'e neve seen an official version of it.....
YEars ago, I read out the ROms from an RX02 controller board and
disassmebled the code. I then hand-commented it (well, it was soemthing
to do on the train from Bristol to London :-)). Unfortunately, whilre I can
stil lfidn the hand-commented listing, I cna';t fidn the origianl
machine-readabvle listing anywhere. So I can't easily send it to you.
Are you talking about the board on the drive itself? My old company
in Maryland hired the guy who designed that board. I didn't see much of
him, unfortunately...it seems he didn't really make the transition from
big-company (DEC) to small-company (SkyCache ~30 employees) very well.
I should see if I can find him. His name was Paul Kotchenruther. (sp?)
Nice guy.
