RL01 02 disk drive emulators interface board

[cmao]

Hello, I am interested in having a RL01 02 disk drive emulators interface PC board. I have been searching for a while. Can someone tell me where to find a spare one with components for sale? Thank you in advance

I was planning to build a few of these boards. But it isn't clear to me where I can find the gerber files to order these boards. I assume you want this RL01 RL02 project? Or are there other emulators?

Yes, It is the project. I look into this project but cannot find the girber file to build the interface board. I have no idea where find a spare board or girber file.

I've emailed Reinhard with the question where I can find the gerber files.

Sorry, but I'm still on vacation until Jan 12, 2022 and turned off my homepage server (Raspi).
I sent an email to Roland and cmao with all the data necessary to reconstruct the PCB board.
all best for 2022

If the zip-file is too big(11 MB) , please send a message.

Got the files, thanks!

My homepage server is online again and a "ready for use" SD card image
can be downloaded: http://pdp11gy.com/rlstatusE.html
In connection with a disk-emulator, I would like to read your opinion:
What is the difference between a disk-emulator and a disk-simulator. In
my opinion, an (RL)disk-emulator emulates all 12 RL bus signals and the
original RL-drives can be replaced 1:1, in my project it is an RL01/RL02 drive.
A Disk-simulator works like the SIMH project.

Are these diskemu-de10.zip also good for DE10-lite board?

No, only for the DE10-Nano, like : https://www.mouser.de/new/terasic-technologies/terasic-de10-nano-kit/
