It's a bus adapter that's part of a system
that
*emulates* a RX01 or RX02 controller. It doesn't
actually drive a RX01/02 (40-pin connector), nor does
it directly drive a Shugart 801-style drive (50-pin
connector). What you need is a DSD440 chassis,
which has a rather smart Z80-based board in it that
converts from the DSD 26-pin connector to the Shugart
50-pin bus.
Ooh... I think I have one of these with a Unibus
adapter. I'll have to dig it out and open it up.
IIRC, the DSD drives _can_ format floppies.
There were also bus adapters for the Unibus and
Omnibus available.
I'd love to find an Omnibus module for it. Didn't
know it existed.
