If it will help send me your address off-list and I will drop it in the
mail. Just send it back when done. You should be able to map the 40 pin
from the RX02 to the 25 pins on the plug, which can then be used to map
to your 37 pin pinout on the VT278.

Hm. I have the bulkhead 25 pin to 40 pin interface thing from an RX02 in
a box, I'm not using it as I am going from the pdp11's RX01 straight to
the drive's controller. That should give you the pinout, want to borrow it?

Looking for a DECMATE (VT-278 model) RX278 Floppy Drive Interface
Connector
cable, part number is RC26N-2L It's a 37 male-25 pin male cable.
Here is photo I took of one (not mine)

I have the pinouts for the 37-pin end but not the 25-pin end. If no one
has a cable I can do a continuity test of the cable next time I have
access
one, but it's not easily available.
I am located near Philadelphia.
Thanks
