No. it's a matter of media format. the FD55-B was designed for 40 track
two sided and works well for that. RX50 however is 80tracks 1 sided.
While the 1/2 side this is a us it or not thing the 40/80 track thing is
actually a mechanical design of the drive.

The FD55-b works for a lot of formats but DEC was always non-standard
with the rx50.
