Nice. Probably the best thing for it.

Two marked jumper positions on the daughtercard.

Absolutely.

Yep - the VR201 will work on any Pro350 configuration. Not sure if
the VR241 will work if you don't have the color option. Again, I don't
have the handle numbers here, but if you have two cards in the CTI cage
with a ribbon cable connecting the two, but attached to nothing else,
you probably have the color option. In fact, with 4 cards total, I'd
suspect you have the color video board set, an RX50 controller and an
MFM drive controller.

Yes. You can also use a 5.25" drive in a PC (Teac FD55GFR is one
of the best to have for this) and format *double density* blanks
for it (the coercitivity of the HD media is different than the DD
media - the RX50 uses DD media, formatted single-sided, 80 tracks,
rather than double-sided, 40 tracks like for a PC, but it's the same
media).
