The '''RF08 disk controller''' was a [[disk]] [[device controller]] for [[RS08 disk drive]]s on the [[OMNIBUS]] of [[PDP-8 family|PDP-8]]s. One RF08 could handle up to four RS08 drives. It used the [[three cycle data break]] form of [[Direct Memory Access|DMA]] to transfer data directly to [[main memory]]. Data transfers can range from 1 to 4,096 words, and 'spiral' read and write operations are supported.
