 I have an unibus rx01 controller card, so all I need is a controller card
 for this drive, right? 
I'm completely confused.  You have a controller card?  Or you don't?  If 
Sorry.  To much coffee and emulators today :-)

I bought an RX01 8" drive and it has no drive electronics card on it.

I have an RX11 M7846 controller (host adapter).

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 :-)

Brad did you buy a bare drive?  If so you need the cab, power supply and
both logic cards.  Yes in the RX01 dual drive there is a pair of cards
that are drive interface and processor.  the RX11 is just an interface 
to the processor.
