I’m not an RL02 hardware expert at all, just a daily user back in the day. I’m reading this assuming that at all times the drive is correctly hooked up to an RLV12 in a running PDP with the correct cable and termination present on the drive? If it isn’t you’ll get a fault condition instead of ready after spin up.
