The RL8A. I got one back in college because I couldn't find an RK8E for
even twice the price, and RL01 drives were going for <$100 (plus shipping,
natch). It maps the 5Mb disk to two primary virtual devices and to a third,
smaller, slower virtual device. There is also an RL02 handler which maps the
10Mb to, I think, five virtual devices, but I've never run it.
There is also an optional RL02 controller for the DECmate I, but I've never
seen it. My DECmate has the floppy controller and a single cable (DC37->DB25),
but there is a Y cable that will let you run two sets of RX02 drives. You can
even fit both sets in the DECmate pedestal, but I've never bothered to try. I
have a couple of table-top RX02 enclosures that do nicely.

Jerome Fine replies:
Also I am really surprised that DEC made an RL01 controller for the PDP8. Does anyone on the list run RT-11 still other than
Megan Gentry?
Do you tinker with the operating system code at all? Does anyone
care about the RT-11 Operating System?
Not lately, but I used to. I never tinkered much with the OS, just wrote
some stuff in MACRO and played the games.
