You mean it isn't in the Sysgen manual? Strange.
Here goes:
RC11 DC
RF11 DF
RS03/04 DS
RK05 DK
RK06/07 DM
RL01/02 DL
RP02/03 DP
RM02/03/05/80, RP04/05/06/07 DB and DR
MSCP DU
MSCP appeared fairly late, V8.0 I think but I don't remember exactly.
DB and DR both refer to Massbus moving head disks. Until V9.0, there
were somewhat odd rules about mixing them on a single controller; the
details should be in the book. Best rule for SIMH or E11 purposes is
NOT to mix "RM" and "RP" drives on a single RH11/RH70. If you want
both, put them on separate controllers. If you do that, then the RM
drives will be called DR, and the RP04... drives will be DB.
