Woops??? What's that? You can only hook a single SDI drive to a two
board KDB50 controller gear? This sound's a bit of a waste! Did I 
misunderstand something?

In the manual. But the list is short, so here goes:

CSA1 - TK70 tape (don't seem to be able to use this as DEFAULT boot,
       it bitches about "unknown type of device", but you can use it
       in a direct boot command.)

DU - disk
MU - tape (yes, your TU81 will be MU)
ET - ethernet

That's all.

Yes, that would be it.
