This unit
The Emerson/Motorola MVME320B-001 is a VMEbus-compatible intelligent disk controller module that manages both Winchester hard drives and floppy disk storage within VMEbus systems. This dual-height, single-slot module enables data transfer between system memory and connected drives, supporting mixed drive configurations up to two Winchester drives and two floppy drives, or alternatively four floppy drives. The controller handles 5.25-inch and 8-inch floppy formats with single and double-density recording (FM and MFM), and Winchester drives with double-density MFM recording. Winchester interface support includes ST506 and SA1000 standards.
