Can anyone tell me the part numbers for the cable and

for the RQDX3 that allows it to be plugged into an RDxx MFM drive and
an RX50 floppy drive? My understanding is that there is a ribbon
cable that connects the RQDX3 module to some sort of panel that has
places to plug in the cables that connect to the drives. I think the
RDxx drive just uses standard PC type cables between the drive and
this panel. Is that correct? Anyone know the part numbers for these
parts?
I have the RQDXE User's Guide scanned and about to be uploaded
somewhere. That has a diagram that may help (at least if you
are using a BA123). I can email that directly to you if you
need it right now.
If you are using a BA23 then one of the MicroVAX II Maintenance
Guides available on the net should sort you out.
FWIW the cable from RQDX3 to RQDXE and from RQDXE to the
internal panel are both BC02D-01. From the internal panel
to the drive is (AFAIK) just the usual PC-style IDC cables.
