There is also the pretty much impossible
to find winchester to diskbus adapters you need on the back of the Diablo drives
that would be required on either the RK11C or D.
'Winchester' here meaning the type of connector, nothing to do with
sealed HDAs.
The Diablo-DIablo interconnection cables that I found had a Winchester
conenctor sodlered to a PCB at each end. They were linked by a pice of
shielded ribbon cable with trasiiton headers oneach end, again soldered
to the CPB. I foudn that if you cut the cable from one of the PCBs the
wires were in almost the right order (I think a couple had to be crossed
over) to solder to the PCB removed from one end of a BC11 Unibus cable.
So making these adapters is not hard if you can find the Diablo cables.
