RL01/RL02 emulator needed -- (was Many thanks to Glen's Vintage Computer Info)

Hi Alan,
You don't want to try to repair the controller? There are some custom IC's on there (it appears) but is largely off-the-shelf TTL... I'm sure someone on the list has a lot of experience with these and could repair it or help.

Several days ago I wrote about my joy of finding a TDL-12 disk
controller, emulating four DEC RL02 drives and using a SCSI drive.
Sadly, I discovered that the controller is a dead as a doornail.
It doesn't respond to any bus address at all.

So, I'm back to my original quest: I need a controller that
emulates the DEC RLV11/RLV12 and RL01/RL02 drives.   From my
Google searching, I see a couple that use SD or similar solid
state devices.   Does anyone here have any direct experience
(good or bad) with any of these emulators?   I don't mind
spending money for a good solution.

Thanks,
