INTRODUCTION
1.1 SCOPE AND PURPOSE OF MANUAL
This manual contains informat ion on the performance, installation,
operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of the WINc-08 disk drive
system. It is intended for operational and maintenance personnel.
1.2 REFERENCE DOCUMENTS
Reference documents include the following:

1.3
OVERVIEW OF SYSTEM
The WINc-08 controller is unique in its utilization of single or dual 8-
inch Winchester drives to emulate DEC RL02 drives; or you can order it
with one 8-inch (single or dual head), floppy drive in place of the
second Winchester.
The
floppy disk drive option emulates the DEC RX02. Its dual head
allows storage on both sides of the diskette, for a total capacity of
one megabyte per diskette. Thus, in a single compact configuration,
you can emulate both the RL02 and the RX02. A functional block diagram
of the WINc-08 is shown in Figure 1-1.
1-1

Briefly, WINC-OB technology Includes these features:
o
Re 11 ab I 11 ty
o Steel
band stepping motor
o Modular construction
o
No preventive maintenance
o
Easy access to subassemb lIes
o Low power consumption
o Optional floppy dIsk
o Error correction
code
o Faster data throughput
o Software compatIbility
o
UnIque dIagnostIc self-test
The WINc-oB controller Is a state-sequential machine based on a bipolar
microprocessor.
The horizontally structured microprocessor Improves
reliability of the controller by minimizIng the component usage and
cost.
The WINc-oB controller Is functionally equivalent to the DEC RL02, and
so It Is compatible with DEC software. You can run either RT-11 or RSX-
11M without the need or concern for software modifications •.
The wlNe-oB also offers PDP-11 or LSI-11 users the ability to expand
their system to a total storage capacity of 41.6 megabytes
fully expanded DEC RL02 system with four disk drives.

1.4 DEFINITION OF AVAILABLE CONFIGURATIONS
The standard versions of WINC-08 are shown In FIgure 1-2 and described
below.
a. Single WINC consists of one w1Ne-08 controller and one
Winchester disk
drive Interfaced to either an LSI-ll or a PDP-
11, this emulates two RL02 drives.
b. Double WINe consists of one w1Ne-08 controller and two
Winchester disk drives Interfaced to either an LSI-11 or a PDP-
11, this emulates four RL02 drives.
c. WINe/FLEX consists of one WINe-08 controller with one Winchester
disk drive and one FLEX-02 conttoller with one floppy disk
drive, this emulates two RL02 drives and one RX02 drlv~
1.S EMULATION CHARACTERISTICS
1.S.1 RL02 EMULATION
RT-11 or RSX-11M software transparency Is achieved by two fundamental
WINe design features:
a. The WINe firmware specifically emulates the RL02 disk system.
b.
The dual 8-inch Winchester drives controlled by the WINe-08 have
RL02-compatlble formats with individual capacities of 20.8
megabytes per
drive (23 megabytes per drive unformatted).

Note
A 10.4-megabyte WInchester dIsk drIve 15
also supported by the wINe-08, but thIs unIt
Is not avaIlable through AED.
1.5.2 RX02 EMULATION
The substItutIon of the second 8-lnch WInchester drIve wIth an 8-lnch
floppy dl sk dr Ive allows DEe RX02 emulat Ion. Thl s floppy dl sk dr Ive,
attached
to the AED FLEX-02 controller, emulates the RX02; the dual head
of the floppy disk drIve allows storage capacIty of one megabyte per
dIskette. The format of the dIskette Is compatible wIth that of the
RX01, RX02, or RX03 (double sIded RX02).
1.6 SUPPLIED SOFTWARE
AED diagnostIc programs are suppl led on the WInchester drIve or on a
FLEX-02 dIskette. If the WINe-08 controller Is purchased separately,
the dIagnostIc routines must be purchased separately from AED with RX01
or RX02 format specified. All AED diagnostics operate under the RT11
operatIng system. The RT11 operating system Is not provided.
The diagnostic routines consist of:
a. Winchester medlalntitialize
b. ECC diagnostic
c. Data diagnostic
1-6

1.6.1 INITIALIZATION
Before the WI Nc-OB Winchester dr i ves or the floppy diskettes may be
used, they must
be initialized with header information and data fields.
Winchester drives received from AED will be preinitialized. Winchester
drives not received from AED should be initial ized using the
initialization program described in paragraph 3.3 of this manual.
1.6.2 DATA DIAGNOSTIC (WINCHESTER) -- RLMFD
This diagnostic routine writes and checks data on the disk and is used
to verify data integrity of the entire system, including media if
desired. Complete information on the data diagnostic routine is
presented in paragraph 4.4.
1.6.3 DATA DIAGNOSTIC (FLOPPY DISK)
The DEC diagnostic program (vendor no. #ZRXDAO.BIC) will run without
modification on the FLEX-02 controller. Refer to the DEC User's Guide
for operating instructions on this program. Additional information on
the floppy disk data diagnostic is given in paragraph 4.6.
1.6.4 ECC DIAGNOSTIC (WINCHESTER DISK) -- RLMFC
The WINC-OB error correction code (ECC) diagnostic routine forces the
disk sectors to contain data errors such that the ECC logic may be
exercised and tested. Complete information on the ECC diagnostic is
covered in paragraph 4.5.

1.10 QUALITY ASSURANCE
At AED, quality and reliability stand as major objectives, supported and
promoted throughout all levels of management and product ion. Qual i ty
controls meet or exceed industry and government standards and
requirements. AED treats product quality as a matter of policy and of
pr ide.
Product
quality is not considered as solely a function of inspection and
control; it underl ies all pol ic ies, procedures, and management
responsibilities. The complete quality program encompasses all
management systems from product conception and planning through shipment
and
post-sh ipment support.
The
