I think I'm looking for one of these as well. Or
maybe someone here can
point me to what I really want :-)
I have an RL02 driver and an RL02 controller, but I seem to have
lost/misplaced the "cabinet kit". I could swear I had one at one point.
So, the RL02 drive has a terminator and a nice long round cable which seems
to have a 2x.1" header. But I believe I need the cable part which is
normally install on the cpu cabinet. My guess is it would cable a shielded
ribbon cable with a connector for the board header and the other end would
have a metal bracket and something to mate with the nice round cable...
Is this even close?
According to the RL01/RL02 User Guidemanual, EK-RL012-UG-005...
RL11 and RLV11 takes a BC06R (flat) cable
RLV21 takes a BC80M (round) cable
RL8A takes a BC80J (round) cable
The flat cable is just a 40-pin shielded cable as used by many DEC
peripherals. 10' is common, as is 20'. The round cables plug right
into the controller and have an RL end that goes right to the drive.
The flat cable goes to a transition bracket assembly (70-12415-0-0?).
The connector there is identical to the ones on the back of the
drives. From the transition bracket, you use the same cables that go
from drive to drive (BC20J-XX / 70-12122-XX)
I have never checked the pinouts of the BC80M and BC80J to see what's
run and what is not, but I've always been curious.
