I'll go with either an RL02 or RA81.
My advise would be to start with the RL11 controller since it's only 1 card.
The UDA-50 is 2 cards and the cabling can be a pain.
Plus, if you've got a bunch of RL02's around you can probably boot RT11 or
XXDP right off the bat from a cart you already have.
When I started my 11/34a hacking I used vtserver to load up a test RL02
cart with RT11. It was simple and worked great. It took 2-3 hours to
load but I was not in a hurry.
Now days I use 9-track since I have a SCSI drive I can make takes using
my linux boxes.
