I've used the same set of cables for an RL11, RLV11, and RLV12 with no
modifications. They involve a chunk of ribbon cable to the bracket
containing the transition header like the RLV11 setup that you
describe above.

I think he
meant RLV11 or RLV12, but I would like to have one for my RL02
sitting in my bedroom. A cable to go from the drive to the controller
would also be nice, but not necessarily needed.
If it's an RLV11, there's no big deal - it's a BC08 to the bracket,
and a transition header, just like the ones on the back of the RL01/RL02
drives. If you don't have one with the controller, you can get one
from the back of a dead drive.
ISTR the RLV12 has a custom cable from the Berg end to the RL01/RL02
end. It _may_ be the same arrangement; it may not. It's been so long,
I forget. I just remember using a custom cable from the back of our
MicroVAX to the first drive, and an RL-11-style arrangement when I had
an RLV12 at home.
