     Well, I may soon fall heir to 1 or 2 CDC 9427H disk drives out of a
TI 990 mini.  These buggers are 14 inch drives with one fixed and one 
removable platter, total of 10 meg formatted capacity.  The manual I have 
says that there were various interface options available.  It has 2 connectors
on the back, a 40 pin and a 50 pin.  Two questions:

     1.  What sort of interface is this?

     2.  Can it be converted to something more reasonable, like SMD
        (I want to hook them up to a pdpp-11/34)

     Thanks in advance!
