Re: ST82500N or CDC/Imprimis 97201-25G :
I have a Similar sounding CDC SMD FSD setup
at home. A resource lookup just now found
this page (mdl 'j', not 'n'):

I'm not a total expert in classic HW, I was an
end-user and not an SE in the 80's. But it seemed
that DEC didn't prefer SMD HDD's, but Data General,
Apollo, Sun and others did. I'm sure some/many SMD
->DEC adaptor boards were available (Emulex?) but
they may not have been in the majority.
That's about it from me. Enjoy the horsepower.
