			== HSC channel interfaces ==

			A '''Channel''' is a pluggable HSC interface to either hard drives, tape drives, or both, depending on the channel module. The number of devices that can be connected also depends on the channel module.

			HSC controllers may contain a mix of the following data channel module options:

			* '''HSC5X-BA''' (L0108-YA) K.SDI INTERFACE KIT TO 4 [[SDI]] DISK DRIVES
			* '''HSC5X-CA''' (L0108-YB) K.STI INTERFACE KIT TO 4 [[STI]] TAPE FORMATTERS
			* '''HSC5X-LA''' (?) HSC5X-BA WITH SUPPORT FOR TOPS-10/20 (18 BIT)
			* '''HSC5X-DA''' (L0119-YA) K.SI INTERFACE KIT TO 4 SDI DISK DRIVES OR 4 STI TAPE FORMATTERS
			* '''HSC5X-FA''' (L0119-YB) 8-PORT DISK DATA CHANNEL DISK/TAPE DATA CHANNEL (not supported by HSC50, HSC70, and HSC40)
			* '''HSC9X-SX''' (L0131-AA) K.SCSI [[SCSI]] DISK DATA CHANNEL (not supported by HSC50)
