I've got a Rainbow 100A with no hard disk, and I'd like to add one.
Do I need to find a hard disk controller or is there a controller
integrated on the motherboard?  (And if there is, where are the
connectors?) 

I've seen messages in the archives telling what models the RD drives
"really" are, does that mean that I can just use one of the
"equivalent" drives without any modification, or did DEC use those
drives and then break them somehow to make them RD's?

Thanks,
entropy
