header fields in FM and data fields in a modified MFM format. I have
never seen anybody claim it was even possible to read/write an RX02
using a PC disk controller.
This is from research I have done. I am sure somebody can supply more
details.
You could always pick up a catweasel controller, shove it into your PC, and
write disks that way, also.
