  I assume to make this work I need an electronics
card on the RX01 drive
 itself.  The drive has what looks like mounting holes for a PCB and I
 the RX11 is way too simple so I assume there is something which bolts
 onto the RX01 drive.  And a ribbon cable between them.  And a power
 supply :-) 
I have a problematic RX02 "internal" controller card, I was in a hurry to 
get the drive operational and just bought a new card for it. You're welcome 
to the old one (which obviously needs some repair), if it will help in your 
quest. 
RX02 does not work with RX11, also the bords for rx02 and rx01 are "sets"
that I've found are not cross interchangeable.

If you building up an RX01 you need both drive internal boards and RX11
to be of the RX01 part group.  

I know this as my RX02 started life as an RX01.  Then I changed the drive 
boards and use a RXV21 with it.

Which RX01 card do you need the Drive interface or the "processor" board?
