May I assume that the RX02 drives, per se, are not the cause of the
read problem, but rather it is the floppy controller? This would seem
reasonable since the RX02s can reputedly read RX01 diskettes.
RX02 is a custom format that only DEC did (or DEC compatable)
and it's single density header, 256byte double density (m2fm)
from a 2901 based microcontroller.
Soooo, it is caused byt the RX02! FYI the RX02 can read RX01
but RX01 cannot read RX02 unless the RX02 formatted the media
as RX01. RX02 is DUAL density whereas the RX01 is single.
