What brand of carrier?

I've got a fair number of ST41201J SMD drives (1.2G) in System Industries
carriers in Milpitas (near San Jose); if anyone needs them we can work out
a trade.

I've recently learned that there are different flavors of SMD. The
high-transfer rate drives use the SMD-E interface, which uses differential
ECL transceivers for the data and clock on the radial interface, vs.
TTL-compatible stuff on the earlier drives.

I'm hoping to use some of these on a system that was originally set up for
Fujitsu Eagles (M2351), but I haven't found any online reference that
indicates the data transfer rate or geometry of the Eagle, or whether
it uses SMD-E.
