On some RL02 cables, the drive WILL FAULT if your ground is not secured. I
had one cable (traded it) that did not do this, and am currently using a
cable that does do this. The drive has zero problems with the ground
attached but will fault immediately if I remove it.
In short, be sure your ground wire/eye is still attached to the card end of
the cable, and that it is secured to the chassis ground (there is a lug for
this on the back of my BA11-SA)

has anyone heard of a
reason not to mount a RX02 directly over an RL02???
It does seem odd, but maybe the motor in the RX02 is a bit hashy?
I know that my PDP-11/73 (http://pdp11.kicks-ass.net) has the
RX02 at the top of the cabinet, then the OEM processor box,
then the RL02s below. I assumed it was for weight...
