rx01 w/o controller board

Hi Brad, the connection from the controller board (UNIBUS or QBUS) is a straight cable AFAIK. The RX01 and RX02 exist as a table top box and uses a DB25 connector to the controller. If you want to make a complete RX01 drive, the first thing to check is the *bottom*. Since many parts have been removed for perhaps completing other drives, check if the drive belt is still there on each drive! The RX01/RX02 drives have *two* boards mounted on top of the disk drives and they cover bothe drives, so they are not smallish. Tony gave (as usual) a good description. I was surprised to read that the two boards are somehow matched. That is a pity because I have two *sets*, and since one board has a rather high connector (relative to the other components on that board, and the other board is a bit smaller, I have put those two boards together. So there is a chance that they are kept as a set togethre but I am not 100% sure. I have also a complete power supply, but it is wired for Europe, that is, it is set for 230/240 VAC 50 Hz. I don't know if there are taps on the transformer to make it work at 110 V. Neither if it can cope with 60 Hz. And I have also the fan and air plenum that is mounted on the back of the drives ... Well, it looks that I have all what you need. I stripped an RX01 just a few weeks ago, and the only parts that I threw away is the metal front (heavily scratched) and the metal frame on which all is mounted). Small problem though, the power supply is heavy ... and I live in The Netherlands ! BTW, I do not have spare belts :~) - Henk, PA8PDP.
