It's been a few years (and a few versions of VMS), but I once hooked an
RL02 to my MicroVAX. It involved simply plugging in the controller and
talking to DLA0: after you booted.

Of course, this was back before VMS used all 22 bits worth of QBUS mapping.
If you hook an RL02 up these days, you should make certain that it's the
new, one board, 22 bit controller instead of the old two board 18 bit
controller.

As for whether or not this configuration is supported: I have no idea.

BTW: I do know that RX02s don't work because they won't DMA across a 64K
byte boundary (shades of the PC!).
