If anybody has one or two of these aftermarket RL disk emulators that

Err, which RLV11/RLV12 emulators are you seeing?
I know of several RL02
emulators - Reinhard Heuberger's, and another I can't immediately
find my
saved info on - (and one crazy project that turned a real RL02 into a
USB
device :-), but you still need an RLV11/12 controller.
The only ones I can find now are the ones you mention.?? Yes, I too
can't find
my notes on the second one, whatever it is/was.?? I was *sure* that
someone
had made a Qbus emulator that used SD cards, but I simply can't find
any mention
of it now.
Right now, it looks like Reinhard Heuberger's board is the best bet.??
I haven't
checked with him yet to see if boards or kits are still available.??
If I could
find a working TDL-12 I would jump on it in an instant.?? All the
older ones
(Dilog, etc.) appear to use ST-506 type drives, which introduces its
own set of
problems.
