They were made by Vertex, who later became a division of Priam. They are tough, reliable drives, as long as they work. When they break, they tend to totally self-destruct. They are also RLL-Rated, one of the few 'stock' drives (that I know of) that didn't require a design change for this capability. I have no idea what the RD- designation would be, but I can tell you it's geometry is 1166cyl x 7h x 17s for mfm or 28spt for RLL. They're good drives. They're also rather scarce.
