I have an unibus rx01 controller card, so all I need is a controller card
for this drive, right?
I'm completely confused. You have a controller card? Or you don't? If
you have one, surely you don't need one? Or are you saying that you need
one for a different bus? Or is your drive missing the drive electronics,
which is the real controller (vs. the Mxxxx "controllers", which are
really just host adapters)?
The "controllers" (host adapters) are:
Unibus Qbus Omnibus

RX01 RX11 M7846 RXV11 M7946 RX8E M8357
RX02 RX211 M8256 RXV21 M8029 RX28 M8357
(Note that the RX8E and RX28 are exactly the same module.)
