Anyone have any idea how hard it would be to build a
box with a DIMM in
it
that looked like an RL02?

I know how but it would take at least three more rounds with the flu to
convince
me of the sanity of doing it..
Consider this both RL02 and ESDI both use a SERIAL data path with a
FORMAT
defined but standard and the media. Thats a hell of a lot of trouble to
go to when disks
in the 32mb and smaller range are easy to find. Sure you get to use
existing drivers
but you have put a immense amount of time in the emulating of the disk so
it interfaces.
To ing it right, and simpler would be sothing like a DRV11 and a couple
of simms
add to that the glue to do refresh and battery back up and you done.
Then you need
a driver.
