We (Bell Laboratories @ Whippany, NJ) have been running with the SI SBI
interface, 9400 controller and CDC 675 MEG drives for almost a year.

You can bet if our purchasing department let us buy them, there are NO
legal problems.  DEC's relationship with SI concerning their SBI interface
is not the customer's concern.  It's between SI and DEC (and SI is benefitting
quite nicely from the publicity).

In addition, I highly recommend this product.  SI has recently upgraded the
SBI interface to provide multiple drive type and er3 registers just as they
should have done from the beginning.
