The drive isn't just standard SMD; see Ethan's previous stories about
not being able to de-decify an RM02/03 in the past.
And, I'd rather run them as massbus drive than as SMD drives with a 3rd
party controller if I can. I've got an RH11, and massbus controller
for my 11/750 and 11/780, and no UNIBUS SMD controllers...

Can you just bypass the MassBus controller box?
Isn't the RM02
just a CDC9763? Does it come out of the drive itself SMD cabling?
If so, can you just use an Emulex SMD controller and try it that
route?
