<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The '''DF32 disk controller''' (denominated as a '''DF32-D''' when used on a [[PDP-8/E]] or similar model [[PDP-8 family|PDP-8]]) was a [[disk]] [[device controller]] on the [[OMNIBUS]] of PDP-8s for [[DS32 disk drive]]s. One DF32 could handle up to two DS32 drives. It used the [[three cycle data break]] form of [[Direct Memory Access|DMA]] to transfer data directly to [[main memory]].<br />
<br />
Originally introduced with the [[PDP-8/I]], when used on a [[PDP-8/L]], to interface with the PDP-8/L, a [[KD8/L Data Break Facility]] and a [[DW08-A I/O Conversion Panel]] were required. Similarly, when used on a [[PDP-8/E]] or other OMNIBUS machine, a [[KD8-E Data Break Facility]] and a [[KA8-E Positive I/O Bus Interface]] were required.<br />
