Just walked past a pair of RX02's in the garage

up to my PC??? They are MFM format, should be feasible perhaps
with a proper controller board... maybe.
Anyone ever try such an endeavor? ...and have any success?
I've never tried it, but I know the RX01/RX02 interface pretty
well. It's very easy; it's a bit-serial interface with a few control
lines. One could easily control one with a microcontroller, or it
*might* be able to be bit-banged with a parallel printer port.
I've long considered building a USB<->RX interface; I might just
do that soon.
