Hi,
has anyone ever heard of Evotek ET-5800 series Winchester harddisks?
I wonder which interface they have. I'm looking for a replacement of
a CDC FINCH 9410 and wonder if they would be a possible replacement.

The Evotek 5000 series is a bog-standard ST-506/ST-412 "MFM" interface.
OEM manual is on Manx:

Back in 1983 I had an opportunity to play with one. Pretty interesting,
but very expensive, as I recall--and not terribly reliable.
