Hey all,

I'm writing a blog post about this IBM 6360 disk controller I want to build:

https://www.andersknelson.com/blog/?p=601

I've read through the service manuals and other docs on Bitsavers but I
can't seem to find a deeper explanation on the protocol that runs over the
DB-37 cable.

I suppose I could bypass the controller inside the drive cabinet and
directly control the drives but I bet it'll be easier/better to use as much
of the electronics as possible.

Can anyone help with the protocol?

Thanks!
