  Hi Folks - another difficult repair job.

I have been asked to retrieve data from an old RODINE RO-200 
winchester type disk. At this stage it looks like a fault with
the read/write board, the controller is reporting a drive error 
and the led on the drive blinks 3 times in succession. 

The disk has been running in a Q-bus PDP_11 via a Dilog DQ614
controller and is set up to look like DEC 'RL' type disks.
I hope to swap the r/w board and recover the data on the disk.

Anyone got a spare RO-200 (good or bad condition) ?

Anyone got any documentation to decode the error code ?

Any other suggestions to recover the data.

I am located in Sydney Australia.
