​Good point, but you might be able to start with something that has been
around for a long time.

4.X BSD has the disktab db in section 5 of the man pages, check out:
https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=disktab&sektion=5

Seems like that data has been vetted a bit (at least for systems from the
late '70-early 2000's)
Source for NET2  on Warren's archives take a look for
usr/src/etc/etc.*/*tab*

The vax directory has: r[ab][68][01], rd53, rm[08][035], rp0[67] plus a few
more. They also have a few more manufacturers in other directories. It might
be interesting to see simh use the same DB.
