I have a few RD53 drives I'd like to read out the contents of, and it
seems they were controlled by an RQDX1 or RQDX2. I have an RQDX3
controller, however, the on disk format differs between the RQDX1/2 and
the RQDX3, so I don't have any ability to read the drives right now.
Since I am in Switzerland (near Zurich) someone local would be much
easier, but if someone somewhere else have a card, is willing to ship
it, and don't expect a bunch of money in return, I'm interested in that
too. If nothing pops up, and can solve this myself at Christmas, when I
go back to Sweden, where I have access to more hardware. But being an
impatient guy, I'm trying this option as well... :-)
Also, an RQDX1 should also work, but if possible, I prefer the RQDX2,
since the RQDX1 have some additional issues...
And of course, if I manage to get the data out from the drives, there
might be some useful things on there that I can share in the end (I'm
specifically searching for a few files needed to complete a Modula-2
compiler that exists for RSX).
If you can't find one in Europe within a reasonable amount of time,
let me know, and I will send you one.
