Product Overview
The DEC M9062-AB is a controller module that bridges the DSSI (DEC Standard Server Interface) bus to the SCSI bus. It allows DSSI-based systems, typically older VAX systems, to connect to SCSI peripherals.

Product Description
The DEC M9062-AB is a specialized interface module designed to bridge the gap between two distinct bus architectures prevalent in Digital Equipment Corporation's product lines: the DEC Standard Server Interface (DSSI) and the Small Computer System Interface (SCSI). DSSI was a high-speed bus used in many VAX minicomputers and some MicroVAX systems for connecting peripherals and storage devices. This controller's primary purpose is to allow systems equipped with a DSSI bus to access and utilize devices connected via the SCSI bus. This was particularly useful for VAX users who wanted to connect newer or more diverse SCSI storage devices (like hard drives, tape drives, or CD-ROMs) to their existing DSSI-based infrastructure, thereby extending the life and capabilities of their legacy hardware. The M9062-AB would typically be installed within a VAX system chassis or connected externally, providing the necessary translation and protocol conversion between the DSSI host and the SCSI target devices. It represents a key component for system integrators and administrators looking to upgrade or expand storage options for their VAX environments without a complete system overhaul, leveraging the broader compatibility of the SCSI standard.
