Setting-up RX02

Hello, all:

    Part of the haul this weekend was a DEC RX02 floppy drive and RX211
controller (for my 11/34a). I don't have any data on the controller, so how
do I set it up properly? What are the default settings and what do the
switch positions mean?

    Also, the cable that I got seems to have one contuctor broken (the pin-1
designator/red stripe). Is there any magic to the length of the cable? Can I
create a new one of the same length using standard 40-pin IDC connectors and
ribbon cable? Can I shorten it to the break point or should I just patch it?
Any tips here are appreciated.
