Quite possibly if the system was configured with the older drives.

I just realized I may be misremembering the details -- it may be that
you need the new controller for RD53 and up -- and RD50 through RD52
work with both.

I do remember that I had to upgrade my PRO disk controller when I
upgraded the drive. It probably was RD52 to RD53 -- it's been a
while...
