Is there a similar document for the RL8A, RL11, RLV11 or RLV12? I'd
really like to get enough documentation together to build a controller
that can work with other machines (maybe ISA bus, or more likely a
microcontroller with a nice sized chunk of cache ram and a serial port) to
facilitate getting data onto/off of RL02 disks. Really, I'm just looking
for the microcode PROM dump, or specs on the drive<->controller bus that
are detailed enough to contain a 'protocol description'.
