Devices that arent MSCP like DD(tu58), DK(RX02),
DY(RX02),
DL(RL02) might make for examples. I'm fortunate to have
the uncut sources on RL02. Unfortunately I'm not an
experienced PDP-11 programmer. The upside is I have the
RT-11 docset.
You might take a look at the sources for the Pro350/380 hard
disk driver. IIRC (I did some mucking about with that driver,
although it has been years), the controller was quite similar to
the WD1010 stuff that eventually became IDE.
