Hi Alan, I just found an Emulex book that shows the SC02, SC04, and SC12 as supporting DEC RL drives. They show a model "L" for the RL drives. I'm guessing different ROMS. I'm sure DILOG and others companies made them, but I haven't found my DILOG book yet. I know people who have used them, but

Hi Alan, You don't want to try to repair the controller? There are some custom IC's on there (it appears) but is largely off-the-shelf TTL... I'm sure someone on the list has a lot of experience with these and could repair it or help. -- Pete Rittwage On Tue, Apr 3, 2018 at 00:50, Alan Frisbie vi

Several days ago I wrote about my joy of finding a TDL-12 disk controller, emulating four DEC RL02 drives and using a SCSI drive. Sadly, I discovered that the controller is a dead as a doornail. It doesn't respond to any bus address at all. So, I'm back to my original quest: I need a controller t
