I assume to make this work I need an electronics card
on the RX01 drive
itself. The drive has what looks like mounting holes for a PCB and I
the RX11 is way too simple so I assume there is something which bolts
onto the RX01 drive. And a ribbon cable between them. And a power
supply :-)
Do you just have the bare drive mechanism, then?
The RX01 unit contains 2 of these drives bolted under the chassis using
the holes you thought were to mount a PCB. On top of the chassis there's
a read/write PCB which all the cables from both drives plug into. There's
also a PCU mounted behind it. On top of the read/write board there's
another PCB stuffed with digital electronics which is the controller
itseld. And finally, there's a fan and air plenum mounted on the back of
the 2 drives...
Sounds like you have rather a lot to find.
