Having been through getting an RX01 rejuvenated and working again, I had to fresh format

I wonder if
there's a problem with the floppy you are using?
Remember, the RX0x drives can't hard reformat the floppies (as in, write the
sector headers), so if the floopy has a problem, you can't fix it with the
RX02.

Possibly, but I ran the same test on about 4 floppies and failed in the
same way. I bought a box of 13 floppy disks a while ago off eBay, so
unless the box was kept on top of a magnet or something, I'd expect at
least one of them to work.
