Here's one that even HP Greeley couldn't help with:
Looking for specs and ROMS or ROM images for Xebec Winchester
controllers such as those used in the HP 9133A disk.
I have the HP manuals and there is not enough info in them.
Somewhere I (may still) have DIP switch settings for the board, obtained
experimentally. I do not have
info in all the jumpers, ROMs, etc.
thanks...

Which board was that? I've got a few of the S1410 boards I think... I won't be
near them (or a EPROM reader) for a few weeks. I'm not sure that it'll help
anyway; I've got a feeling that Xebec often produced custom ROMs for specific
manufacturers. Most of mine will be Torch; HP ones are probably different.

The S1410 manual looks to be on bitsavers:

Theyre not S1410's. Not even close.
They have the black brick in the
middle, HPIB connector and connect to two ST506-type drives. I have one
connected to a Seagate and a Shugart 5Mb and one connected to a Shugart
10Mb.
Since they are buried deeply in storage I can't see them (or get to them
quickly).
