RX02 drive emulation (was RE: Lisa Profile Drive emulation on a PC)

I'm looking for a way to access a RX0? drive from a PC! I'd like to
archive all the 8" floppies that came with my '780 (including some
CPM/68K distributions) for long-term preservation.

Anybody done anything like this? I'm still looking for the pinout
of the 10? pin ribbon cable that comes out of the dual floppy box.
