DEC/VG Datasystem/System Industries/Western Dynex

[Jim Patterson]

Jay,
I was trying to locate the name of the owner/founder of Western Digital
and came across your note re System Industries disk controller and
Western Dynex drive.  I was the VP of Engineering at System Industries
from 1973 to 1979.  The 3040 and 3051 were disk controllers we developed
during that time.  As I recall the 3051 was a 3040 with ECC added -
could be wrong.  I am still in touch with some of the engineers from
those days who may be able to answer specific question.  Let me know.
