I have recently been given a RL/RL drive and would like
to attempt to hook it up as a SCSI HD. The drive was manufactured by
Integrated Solutions; the actual drive mechanisms inside the enclosure
are IMI5012H (?). I also have the IS RL101 Winchester Disk Controller...
(for all the good that does me... I really DON'T want to hack an
LSI-11 to SCSI adapter cludge, and I think using a 11/73 as a
BIG microcontroller is a serious waste...) So here are my questions & pleas:

1:   Are there any SCSI<->IMI5012H controllers available?

2:   Can anyone tell me the pinouts for the above mentioned drives?
       (A desciption of the handshaking & general protocol would be nice
        also...)

3:   Would I be stupid (and insane) to try and cludge a SCSI replacement for
       the RL101 ?

4:   Does anyone know the phone# and/or anddress of Integrated Solutions, INC.?

Well thanx for your time.... please email me (i'm posting this to a few
groups that I don't normally read)....

p.s. -> yes I do realize that this is a hell of alot of work to go thru for
a 10M drive...
