Sorry folks, it's a custom design, part of a 68020 processor board for
our raster image processor. I mentioned the speed as it demonstrates
that the choice of controller is important. The same drive can't give me
1Mb/Sec on my (same clock speed - 20MHz) AT. But it's still very fast,
the linker file names are just a blur when I run Turbo C. And of course,
I won't need to buy another controller board for the tape streamer.

RLL was ok, but SCSI...
