3 -The AZ® series controllers were developed to work with PDP-11 computers using the QBUS or its analogs. The controllers were designed by engineers Max Bagaev (Russia) and Alexander Zabayratsky (Kazakhstan) in 2019. Since then, the controller has continued to evolve and improve. Unfortunately, due to health issues, Alexander has been unable to continue developing the controller since 2022, and the development is now solely carried out by Max. In total, more than 500 controllers of various modifications have been produced since 2019. This is the most widely produced PDP-11 hardware in modern times.

5 -These controllers were produced for various Soviet clones of PDP-11 machines, such as DVK-1, DVK-2, DVK-3, DVK-4, Kvant-4S, Elektronika-60, Elektronika 60M, Slavutich PK-1, and UKNC.

7 -A special version with extended functionality, the AZBK®, was developed for the BK-0010/BK-0010.01/BK-0011M series.

9 -The main functionality of the AZ® series controllers is a block device with random access. Its standout feature is a higher level of abstraction, where the disk image is a file on the controller's storage filesystem. This makes disk image manipulation easy. Another distinctive feature is the ability to connect to the Internet via Ethernet. This greatly expands the controller's capabilities, including remote disk image manipulation via a built-in WebDAV server. Additionally, the controller allows working with files within disk images, thanks to its ability to open RT11 disk images as directories, enabling read, write, delete, and rename operations remotely.

11 -The controller also includes RTC functionality and the ability to synchronize system clocks with an NTP server. Recently, the network functionality was expanded to allow the controller to use network drives provided by MAXIOL Landisk technology®. This feature enables access to the entire repository of files and disk images available at [[https:~~/~~/mirrors.pdp-11.ru/>>url:https://mirrors.pdp-11.ru/]].
