DQ614 and other Q-Bus questions

Hmmmm, now this sounds ponentially very cool! According to the Field Guide
this is a "Dilog ST-506 emulation of four RL01/02". Any one have info on
this, and will it work in a system that has actually RL02 drives attached?
It would make it a lot easier to get data on to the Hard Drive if I can
just copy it from a RL02 to a fake RL02.

What kind of Hard Drives will work with it?

Is there any kind of setup for it? There is a funky 20-pin connecter
marked J3 that might be for jumpers or a ribbon cable though I don't really
want to try to attach a ribbon cable to it, as it's rather wierdly attached.

Does it have any kind of boot ROMs? Any idea on how well it would co-exist
with a DQ606?

How well do Boards with Boot ROMs co-exist with systems with another set of
Boot ROMs? I'm threatening to throw the DQ606 in the 11/23 that I'm
working on, so I can access the rack of drives that go with the controller.

Well, I'm off to work on archiving some RX-50 floppies prior to actually
trying to use them. Hopefully they're readable! So this should be a break
in my steady stream of questions :^)
