Well, I suppose that the only external floppies formy

I've got which doesn't have them.
We needed a 5.25" floppy at work in 1986 so we could cut distribution
floppies to our customers with a MicroVAX, but no TK50 drive. We got
an RUX50 controller and an external RX50 for our VAX-11/750. It was in
the same external cabinet as an external TK50 for QBus MicroVAX (not
the same for a uVAX-2000) or an external RD52/RD53/RD54. My fading
neurons are feebly resonating that it was called a "Leprechaun box".
In any case, it was a buffered version of the 34-pin raw disk signals,
not SCSI or some other wiring scheme.
