Subject: Omti Series 10 SASI controllers

Has anyone out there ever heard of an Omti Series 10 SASI controller?
I am looking for specs, manual, any info.
I have two of these, each mounted on 8-inch winchesters (Quantum Q2020).
I need enough info to write a new driver for these things.  In particular
I need the details for the format and the set drive parameters commands.
In particular, want to know if this thing will handle a Q2040.
Any help will really be appreciated - I have gone most of the way reverse
engineering the thing (drew the schematic, read out and disassembled the
microcode roms, you wouldn't believe it ... ). The closest thing I got to
getting help from the manufacturer was talking to an engineer on the phone
who said,
>Yes I remember working late nights on that one, it warms my heart to know
>someone out there is still using it.
Anyhow, this thing works, so if someone out there has
any documentation it will warm MY heart to hear from you!
