I never saw an ACB4070 in an Acorn system, only ACB4000's.  Third-party
systems sometimes used other controllers, the most popular alternative
being the Xebec S1410.  The command sets are very similar, though the
Adaptec is SCSI (but not quite the Common Command Set normally used now)
and the Xebec is SASI.  I have docs for both, but they're quite large.
 Would a list of the commands do, then you could look up the CCS
equivalents, which are on the web?
