The '''KLESI Low-End Storage Interconnect''' controllers are a series of [[device controller]]s which use [[Mass Storage Control Protocol|MSCP]] and TMSCP to interface with [[disk]]s and [[magnetic tape drive]]s. They include the '''KLESI-UA''' ('''M8739''') for the [[UNIBUS]] and '''KLESI-QA''' ('''M7740''') for the [[QBUS]]. The -UA is a [[DEC card form factor|quad]] card which plugs into an [[Small Peripheral Controller|SPC]] slot; the -QA is a dual (although the -S variant is packaged in a quad form, with an S-box handle, for the [[BA200 series enclosure]]s).

One main use was with the TU81E/TU81-Plus variant of the [[TU81 magtape drive]]; it was also used with the [[RC25 disk drive]].
