"Internal Mini-Expansion Bus" and the Disto Controller referenced is not the no-halt controller that I have (Had until it was killed) with the SCSI Hard Disk controller.

It has no WD 1773 in it.

The files on mm suggest that there were several Super Controllers built by Disto.

mm coco/MANUALS%20by%20company/DISTO/DISTOHDA.pdf says it will work only with the SC I and II, what is the controller it will not work with? What is the No-Halt controller's name? 

I think that the Disto Hard Disk supplied floppy is online, but I did not have the full index of my original master disks created when the index was created that is online. PM  me for the location of the disks if you do not know where they are, your moderator knows the location.

The no-halt controller allows only for one plug in, but perhaps the other devices may be allowed.

I cannot look for the proper file for my dead Disto No-Halt controller, I must get ready for the installer for the company owned by the children of Hitler tomorrow.
