Jerome Fine replies:
And why bother. Is a Teac FD55GFR a 5 1/4" HD 1.2 MByte floppy?
If so, it can probably be used as an RX33 with an RQDX3 on a real
DEC PDP-11.
I have no idea if it can be used on a PRO380.
I would definitely NOT use an RX50 on a PeeCee!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES!! The PRO380 does not (as far as I know) have a controller for the
TK50.
And the PRO380 does NOT have a controller for the RX33 either!!
