I have just received an RX50 for my 11/53. I have a RD32 (seagte ST-251) with XXDP installed running off an RQDX3. This will only boot if the jumper is set to 3(even before installing the RX50). When I put an RX50 in either floppy whilst running a DIR command against the RD32 the output stops and I have to reboot. I've swapped the cable orientation on the RX50 and then the RD32 doesn't boot it sits with a solid green LED. So I'm pretty sure that I had the cable the correct way in the first instance. I'm using a flat ribbon cable not whatever was originally installed in the BA23.
Does anyone have a close up picture of the heads on the RX50? I can see coils for the head, shoudn't I see some sort of ceramic coating? When I insert a floppy the drive leaves a mark where the heads have touched the surface.
