Sergio,
I made good experience with the SRQD11 Controller for ST506 (=MFM) disks made by the
Australian Webster Computer Corporation.
It can interface one disk (genuine DEC RDs or any other MFMs) to your PDP-11 or MicroVAX
without any additional boards or panels.
Mine has been running as well in my PDP-11/03 [RT-11] as in my MicroVAX I [VMS], which is
VERY picky about disk controllers.
Another good choice would be an Emulex QD21 for ESDI disks or even an Emulex UC07 for SCSI
disks (if you find one).
