The IMI 7710 34 pin flat cable interface is a variant on the SMD dumb interface 
which could be controlled by a UDI (universal disk interface) if someone cared 
enough to build an adapter and then program the UDI to deal with IMI's specific 
track format and peculiar command/status protocol.  CalComp would be easier, 
but the question remains would either be worth the effort given their 
relatively low unit shipments compared to the other interfaces?

They are if you�re someone who has a machine using one of these interfaces, or 
e.g. the 40-pin �IMI bus�, or whatever else.
