WRONGO!

CDC's 9715 series of disk drives (9" disks, half rack)
are SMD interface. the 340 MByte and 525 MByte are high
speed SMD but *ALL* of them are SMD drives. 

I would expect CDC to migrate these drives to IPI-2
rather than SCSI.

If you want large capacity SCSI drives, Maxtor just
announced a 280 MB 5 1/4" drive with SCSI interface
(Think of how many of them you could mount in a rack :-) )
and Amcodyne (spelling?) has a fairly nice line of
8" SCSI drives now pushing towards 500MBytes.
