It's my understanding that the Radiology Dept. at Michigan
State University has Tower 32-600s running with CDC-9766
drives and Xylogics 450 disk controllers.
I wouldn't recommend your trying to do it yourself though,
let a vendor do it, at no cost to you if it doesn't work out.
I got a bid from NCR for a big drive, and you are correct in
that they are proud of them. Priced theirselves right out of
that sale, and out of my desire to try to grow the machine, thus,
putting the project on another vendors machine.
