Aaron,
Do not underestimate the need for termination, even with a very short external cable.
When you factor in the internal cables runs, crosstalk or signal reflections which
interfere
with operation may still be present, especially when data transfers start.
If you have access to another bootable drive (8inch floppy?), suggest you load the
XXDP+ diagnostics for RL Drives.

Hi Jerry, thanks for the information.
I had built several terminators, but being terrible at geometry I always
did something wrong. I have now fixed one of the terminators I built. I
had pins 1 and 40 mixed up, the rest of the terminator is basically a
mirror copy.
Unfortunately I still have the same error.
I have an RX02 drive but no controller yet, so I'll have to continue
investigating in the dark.
Thanks,
Aaron.
