Gil,
I have a Diablo 30 and I need cables for it. I've been told that it can
be used with the PDP-8 but I need to find out which interface it requires.

15 years ago or so I parted out a IV/Phase IV/60
minicomputer. I had to
reduce space, so I kept all the interesting stuff and threw out the sheet
metal, plastic, foam, etc. & kept the motors, boards, sensors, etc. Four
Phase mostly OEMed peripherals, as did most mini manufacturers. As a result
of this I have parts for about 6 of these (I think), Diablo model 30 high
density (512B sect) drives, which on DEC I think would be an RK03. It was a
2.5 MB removable cartridge disk with a stepping motor for the head
positioning. I can take pictures if this is not sufficient. These were used
by almost every mini manufacturer.
I also parted out at least two CDC 9762's. They are an 80 MB (unformatted) 6
platter removable cartridge drive. I have the motors, fans, heads, etc.
These too were used by many vendors.
Anybody needing such stuff please let me know. I would be happy to swap for
whatever interesting surplus you might have.
TIA,
Gil
