I have a Digital rd52-a 30 meg drive which was pulled from a microvax II
and I'm wondering if it is usable with a st-506 mfm controller in an AT
the drive was made by quantum, and is a model q540.  It seems to have the
original quantum contoller board attached, and it has the proper connectors
but I dont know if it has the proper interface or what its head/platter/track
configuration is.  I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who has the necessary
information.  Thanks
