Subject line says it all. The Lambda uses this as its disk controller and
it's looking like the one in mine needs some debugging. There doesn't seem
to be any documentation for this controller out there. There are docs for
the Interphase SMD 2180 on Bitsavers but it appears to be a very different
board.
Thanks!

Interphase Multibus manuals are pretty rare for some reason. I've been looking for the
2181 and 3030 ESDI/MFM
manuals literally for decades back to when I had SGI IRISs.

Manuals are not always listed there, you have to ask.

Herb is on the intel-devsys mailing list, I just posted a request over there which would
also
get to a bunch of other people with Multibus boards.
