we are currently looking for controller/drives for a uvaxII and/or
vaxservers. i would like to hear what folks are using. i am looking
at either Dilog DQ246/256 or Andromeda SMDC controllers on a CDC 9720
750 meg drive.

We are currently implementing a uVAX II workstation system which
uses the Dilog 256 along with the CDC 9772 850 Mbyte drives.
I can't say a whole lot yet because the system is just now getting
built up (disk should be formatted by the end of this week).

Based on reviews in Digital Review the SMD-E interface with 3 Mbytes/sec
max rate should be a screamer.  If interested I'll follow up after the
systems is together
