Hey again!
I'm still on my quest to get my 11/23+ to a point further than "hello world", and after buying a, seemingly functioning, RQDX2 card some months ago, I've been working on/off on avitech.com's RQDX breakout board, for getting 3½'' floppy drives working - at the moment I have no storage on the machine, and that limits the use a fair bit.
Here's the issue: The rqdx boards should also support MFM harddrives, but according to the avitech.com article, only some. Is there any way of telling which ones? I've found one on the local craigslist-equivalent, "NEC, 21 Mb 40 ms". Other places in the ad he's put 21 Gb, but I guess that's a modern habit, it seems unrealistic for am MFM, but I don't know.
Would it be worth picking up? Does anyone has any experience with getting non-DEC MFM's working?
It's the first I've seen in Denmark, and given the weight, it might be expensive to buy further away.
