I have used it for two years on my 11/34 with a v6 driver from harvard
and never had any troubles not attributable to (warranty repaired)
hardware failure. Early in its life it belched on my unibus from time
to time, resulting in dropped interrupts on my adjacent able dmax
dh emulation. This resulted in terminals freezing and processes waiting
on their output queue to hang.
I use it with a Cipher dual density drive which needs its vacuum column
servos adjusted annoyingly often (2-3 months) and has had three
transducers, each subject to a 1 year warranty and each for free (!).
If I had to do it again I guess I'd try the Kennedy drive, but I have
no quarrel with the controller
