Good question, sounds like you either have an RX33

hacked a Teac of the correct model to work as an RX33.
Indeed. And those are considerably more reliable than RX50s are.
True, but they lack a certain "style". Call me crazy, but I rate the
RX50 up there with something like my SGI O2 when it comes to "style".
Granted all that style comes at a price, and in the case of an RX50,
that is a less reliable piece of hardware, but since I don't normally
use the floppy drive on my PDP-11 anyway... :^)
Besides I don't have a real RX33 or the hardware to put it in place.
If I did, I'd probably have it installed in my "souped up" /73.
