So it turns out that MSCP is a fairly high-level protocol, which runs across several different lower-level hardware interfaces; I found out that the LESI lower-level bus was one that uses MSCP. It turns out that a major one is the Standard Drive Bus, which the RA81 (among many others) uses. I think we ought to have sub-categories of Category:MSCP Disk Drives for each physical bus, as I have done with Category:LESI Disk Drives, and move individual drive articles into the appropriate sub-category (e.g. Category:SDB Disk Drives).

- The RDxx drives are another sub-category of the MSCP main class, but I do not know the name DEC used for the physical layer - maybe we could use "MFM"?
